About the piece

Painted in 1911 by Marianne von Werefkin, 'Bathhouse' exemplifies the bold color theory and expressive brushwork of the German Expressionist movement. The composition contrasts the vertical lines of the stilted buildings against the sweeping horizontal planes of the beach and water, all unified by a luminous, unconventional palette of deep violet and sun-drenched ochre.
