The woman sitting on the sand holds the eye because she’s the only thing rendered with any real detail. Everything behind her turns into a wash of turquoise and green: umbrellas, chairs, sunbathers, a whole crowded stretch of coastline reduced to shapes and patches of colour. Nothing back there competes with her, and nothing back there had to be moved, cropped out or waited for.
