Boys on a river bank is a 1906 oil by Paul Sérusier, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Bathing, held at National Gallery of Victoria.
This painting depicts three boys on a riverbank, with one boy standing in the water and the other two sitting on the grassy bank. The boy in the water has his arms outstretched, while the two boys on the bank are facing him. The background of the painting is a mix of greens and yellows, with some dark shapes that could be trees or bushes. The painting has a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the movement and energy of the scene. The colors are muted, but the overall effect is one of warmth and vitality. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Paul Sérusier, a French artist known for his expressive and emotive paintings.
Paul Sérusier was a French painter who was a pioneer of abstract art and an inspiration for the avant-garde Nabis movement, Synthetism and Cloisonnism.
