Wedding Dream in Nudist Colony

Gustave Klumpp was fascinated by the nude female figure and painted many fantasy landscapes of unclothed people in exotic surroundings. He sometimes painted himself into the image, too, as a voyeur looking on from the sidelines. In this bird’s-eye view of a nudist colony, the rows of trees, winding pathways, and lack of perspective create a colorful, two-dimensional pattern that almost distracts us from its provocative subject.
