Watercolor, Germaine Nordmann, "summer At The Beach"

A charming figurative watercolor by Germaine Nordmann depicting an intimate summer scene at the beach. Three figures are arranged in a frieze: two seated female nudes in the foreground, their poses supple and natural, and a child reclining in the background, arms raised in a relaxed posture. The artist favors a free and expressive touch, blending transparent washes with bolder accents. The palette, dominated by violet, seafoam green, and bluish tones, evokes the freshness of the sea and the light of a summer afternoon. The bodies are rendered with spontaneity and sensitivity, in a quest for movement and chromatic vibrancy. The composition, both modern and poetic, conveys a moment of calm and carefree abandon, characteristic of 20th-century seaside scenes. A fresh and decorative work, ideal for a collection of modern figurative art or for adding a luminous, summery touch to an interior.
