Karel Boháček (1886 - 1928) BATHING

Variants of the motif of bathing in the landscape were among the artist's favourites. Two girls stand in the foreground in the water, one of them is naked. Karel Boháček returned to the motif of bathing in 1925. He masterfully recorded the contrast between the dark forest and the bright summer sky. From 1910 he was a member of the Art Society in Prague. Karel Boháček created poetic landscapes and figurative genre scenes from rural life, influenced by Art Nouveau decorativism and folk art.
