Kylpeviä miehiä is a 1913 unspecified by Edvard Munch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows four naked men standing near a beach. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, with bright colors—yellows, blues, and greens—that clash and blend unevenly. One man stands alone on the right, holding something small, while the others cluster together in the center, their bodies painted with loose, hurried strokes. The background looks like a chaotic mix of water and sky, with faint figures swimming or diving in the distance. The paint is applied in heavy, textured layers, almost like it was slapped on quickly. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint.
Edvard Munch ( MUUNK; Norwegian: ; 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter.
