From John Golding, "Cubism, A History and an Analysis, 1907-1914":

"Picasso's 'Bather'...shows the painter accomplishing the desired optical synthesis in a very thorough but slightly schematic way. Here both buttocks and the far side of the back are visible in what is basically a simple three-quarter view of the figure; one leg is in strict profile, while the other is seen almost from a frontal position. The face, divided down the central axis, is a crude combination of a three-quarter and profile view, and the elongation of the mouth suggests even a purely frontal viewpoint."
