Two Figure, Turkish Bath - Charles Demuth Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Steam pours in pale columns through Charles Demuth's Two Figures - Turkish Bath, a 1918 watercolor where two men share one wet, unhurried minute. The seated male nude tips his head back under the shower. His eyes close. Ochre warms his cheek, and the rest of him stays bare paper, drawn in graphite so thin the water seems to erase him as it falls.
Beside him a standing man turns his broad back to us. Rust red flushes his shoulder blades. His charcoal trunks bloom with blotted pigment, and one raised hand lifts a dark orb toward the ceiling.
Demuth trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and ran with Marcel Duchamp and the Stieglitz crowd, yet in 1918 his most private watercolors came here, to the steam rooms of wartime New York.
Violet shadow pools at their feet, blotted soft. The pencil line wavers where the two bodies nearly meet. Early gay art history keeps few rooms this candid, and this one stays warm and wet, its shower forever running over a man who stopped counting the hours and let freedom reign.
