About the Item
Saturated in bold primary colors -- deep red, brilliant yellow and sky blue -- this scene depicts a standing blond lifeguard with his surfboard to one side and a striped umbrella to the other, accompanied by a seated nude male figure topped with a floppy straw hat. In the distance is a sailboat in the water, its sail billowing in the same strong colors. The two men, both deeply tanned, have an impassive expression, looking past each other into the distance. The painting is signed, though the signature is difficult to discern (possibly Y. Bein). The painting is on a prepared canvas made by Fredrix, which continues today as the only American company making frames and prepared canvasses for artists. Dimensions include the 1-inch frame.
