More about this artwork

The painting shows a lively and somewhat chaotic scene of figures, possibly at a racecourse. The central figure, a woman dressed in a white or light-colored dress with striped accents and a large, decorative hat, is animatedly waving her hand. Around her, there are several other figures, including men in dark suits and top hats. Some appear to be in motion, suggesting excitement or movement in the crowd. The figures are rendered in watercolor, with soft, flowing lines and washes that provide a sense of movement and vibrancy. The colors are subdued, with hints of blue, yellow, and grey, contributing to a dreamy, impressionistic feel.

Charles Demuth (1883-1935) was one of the leading artists during the American Modernism era. He was distinguished for intimate watercolors and cubic architectural paintings. Demuth studied art at Académie Julian in Paris, where he was welcomed into the avant-garde art scene and met other American Cubism artists like Marsden Hartley. His watercolor figures have a weightless and surrealistic character with a sensitive linear style, in which he illustrated plays and novels such as Émile Zola's Nana. He also depicted an evolving gay scene of encounters at bath houses through watercolors for his close friends, like the "Turkish Bath", works that now are of great historical significance. Demuth later employed a cubist technique by painting industrial factories with complex structural planes, leading him to becoming a pioneer for the precisionist movement.
