Mother and Children, Day at the Beach (1926)
Possibly the earliest example of a figure holding a towel. Richard’s towels seem to be mainly white, blank cloths ready to take on any form or meaning.
Beach with Bathers (1969)
Several white towels or towel-like cloths are part of the rhythm and pattern of this picture. They help to create a strange and rather surreal atmosphere.
Promenade at Night (1972)
At first sight this picture looks like a straightforward lamplit romantic scene. But on the right hand side is a ghostly figure walking away wearing what seems to be a towel-like head-dress.
