Bathers Caught in a Storm (Les baigneuses surprises par l'orage)

Félix Vallotton

National Gallery of Art

The image features bold, curvy lines and angular shapes that form an abstract scene. The composition suggests the dynamic movement of two figures. One shape resembles a person in profile running or bending over, while the other shape could be interpreted as a bird with its wings spread. The top portion of the image contains horizontal lines, while the base of the image contains a series of wavy lines. The visual elements come together to create an abstract representation that hints at interactions in a natural setting.
