Max Beckmann's painting "Lido" (1924) depicts a swimming pool scene with a disquieting atmosphere, subverting the typical idyllic portrayal of a day by the water. The oil painting, named after the artist's 1924 trip to Pirano on the Italian coast, features several figures in or near the water. Key elements include: A central figure, dressed in a white cloak with a zigzag pattern and a light-colored cap, stands facing right, seemingly walking out of the water. To the left, a swimmer in a striped cap is partially submerged, with only their upper body visible, while another figure's legs are shown upside down in the water, suggesting a dive or struggle. On the right, a figure wrapped in a white cloth, possibly a towel, with a striped bathing suit visible beneath, walks away from the viewer. The overall composition and the portrayal of the figures evoke a sense of unease rather than leisure, reflecting Beckmann's style and potentially hinting at his later interest in Surrealism.
