Original caption
InfoField
English: Anders Zorn has come to be associated with paintings of nude young women bathing. In his early paintings on this theme, the women often seem unaware of the spectator. They are not posing, but are simply captured on canvas while undressing or concentrating on getting out of the water. This spontaneous character is naturally false, and the nudity is a vital element in the painting. Nevertheless, these paintings are not primarily erotic; instead, the emphasis is on the effect of light. The nude body is hazy, to serve as a sculptural shape in the play of light and shadow in the overall composition. By Lake Siljan from 1905, on the other hand, is an example of how the subject was eventually exploited and became more explicitly erotic. Here, the woman is facing the spectator frontally, with her body fully exposed. The summer sun is used purely as a spotlight and not for subtle effects.
Svenska: Anders Zorn har kommit att bli förknippad med badande nakna unga kvinnor. I hans tidigare målningar med sådana motiv framstår kvinnorna ofta som ovetande om betraktarens närvaro. De förefaller inte posera, utan fångade på duken i färd med att byta om eller koncentrerat ta sig upp ur vattnet. Denna icke-arrangerade karaktär är naturligtvis skenbar och nakenheten ett av bildens bärande element. Men man kan nog trots detta säga att målningarna inte i första hand är erotiska stycken utan att framställningens tyngdpunkt ligger på ljusets verkan. Den nakna kroppen är oskarp för att plastiskt fungera som en del av helhetens ljus- och skuggspel. Vid Siljan från 1905 är i sin tur ett exempel på hur detta motiv med tiden exploaterades i riktning mot det explicit erotiska. Kvinnan är uppställd rakt framför betraktaren med uppslagen kropp. Och sommarsolljuset används här som ren belysning snarare än för dess effekters skull.
