The Sunbathers are another example of paintings by Raymond Neher in which he repeats the figures in the painting. A common thread that Neher appears to convey in these paintings is of activities that are performed by large masses of people. Here we see a man and a woman lying on lime-green beach loungers, probably at a Southern California beach where Neher briefly flirted with living. (It may surprise Raymond's Bay Area friends to know that Raymond had told me on a couple of occasions that he felt he would have preferred to have lived in Southern California over Northern California). The woman wears a pink towel headscarf, pink bikini, and white flip-flops. Her bikini straps are pulled down revealing a tan line.
