About Three Bathers

The artwork titled “Three Bathers,” created by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1913, is an oil painting on canvas representative of the Expressionism movement. This nude painting (nu) is housed at the Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) in Sydney, Australia.

In the artwork, three nude female figures are depicted standing in what appears to be a surf environment. The figures are rendered in vibrant, expressive colors and brushstrokes, characteristic of Kirchner’s style. The water is portrayed with dynamic, swirling patterns, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene. A seagull can be seen flying in the upper right corner, further enhancing the natural and dynamic setting. The composition and the intense use of color reflect the emotional depth and the subjective perspective central to the Expressionist art movement.
