In 'Bathers', Matisse has employed a deliberately sketch-like mode of expression. Some areas of the canvas have been left unpainted, leaving the white priming visible and conveying a sense of unfinishedness.⁠ ⁠ Painted in Collioure in the spring of 1907. 🌱⁠ On display at SMK until 26 February 2023.⁠ ⁠ Henri Matisse, Bathers, 1907, Oil on canvas, 73 x 59 cm, SMK, National Gallery of Denmark © Succession H.
