Bathing

Materials: paper, pastel, varnish Eclectic picture. The theme was inspired by the drawings of Edgar Degas, where he depicted women during the usual rituals - bathing, combing their hair, as if the viewer is a voyeur, imperceptibly spying on intimate moments. Compositionally, the drawing is closer to futurism and fauvism. Women's bodies are deliberately decorative (Post-Impressionist influence), they are natural, this is a reference to the image of women from the tribes of Tahiti, who were portrayed and inspired by Paul Gauguin, he considered their nudity to be natural, without vulgarity, these are modern Eve. This is my dialogue with artists, sometimes I use the practice of "dialogue" with artists who have influenced me. The colors in the photo may vary slightly from the original, depending on the computer screen. A sketch for this drawing is also available so you can purchase the complete collection.
