Bathers at Ballon3, 1928

$1,699.00

Bathers at Bagnères (1928) showcases Picasso’s surrealist turn, depicting distorted, abstracted female forms in a seaside setting. The bathers are rendered with elongated limbs and mechanical, puppet-like structures, blending human anatomy with fantastical invention. The scene feels playful yet uncanny, challenging traditional ideals of beauty and nature.

By transforming a classical subject into a surreal composition, Picasso explores themes of desire, fragmentation, and the body’s vulnerability. The figures seem suspended between organic life and constructed form, revealing his ongoing fascination with psychological and physical metamorphosis.
