About the piece

Painted in 1911, 'Bather' represents Kazimir Malevich's early engagement with Fauvist and Cubist principles before his transition to Suprematism. The work uses a vibrant palette and bold, rhythmic brushwork to convey the power and movement of the human form, making it a striking piece of early 20th-century European modernism.
