Picasso spent the summer of 1932 at Boisgeloup, often in the company of Marie-Thérèse, while Olga and Paulo were sent to Juan-les-Pins. His work of that summer is full of reference to his lover and those memories continued to inspire him into the autumn when he began work on a series of beach scenes that recalled not only the past months but also previous summers spent together at Dinard. A glorious cacophony of movement and colour, Les Trois baigneuses shows two figures at play, whilst a third lies supine at their feet. The figures are rendered with the voluptuous lines and sensuality that Picasso used to allude to his lover, yet the work is full of complexities. Only two months later Picasso would paint his dramatic Le Sauvetage works depicting the seaside rescue of Marie-Thérèse and there is something of the same feeling of urgency and threat in the present work. The dark, ominous palette is matched by the exigency of brushwork; the sky and sea indicated with billowing greys and blues and the dramatic attitudes of the three figures emphasised with single, urgent strokes of brightly-coloured pigments. These paintings were inspired by real-life events – Marie-Thérèse had contracted a serious illness after swimming in the Marne and for some months was very unwell. His concerns exacerbated by the distance he had been forced to keep over the summer, Picasso returned to the beach motif that had become so synonymous with Marie-Thérèse and transforms it into a landscape in which he can express his feelings in all their tumultuous intensity.
This work has been requested for the exhibition Picasso 1932 to be held at the Musée national Picasso-Paris, Paris and Tate Modern, London from October 2017 to September 2018.
