Vitalism
Vitalism had a light palette that replaced the dowdy palette of
National Romanticism in the early years of the 20th century. It adopted a positivist view of life, being a development of the tradition of figure painting where the male nude is a symbol of power shown against the sea, the sun and forces of nature.[1]
