"..right after the war the bathers returned to Heckel' s repertoire of motifszurück. As far as teh colors are concerned it becomes obvious how much the figures blend in with the background and the palette of the landscape elements. The bathing people are perefectly integrated into the nature, become a part of it, there is nothing menacing to be observed any longer .." (cf. Janina Dahlmanns, Erich Heckel, in: Im Zentrum des Expressionismus. Erwerbungen und Ausstellungen des Brücke-Museums Berlin 1988-2013, Munich 2013, p. 289)
