"Buildings, Bermuda" is a watercolor painting by the American artist Charles Demuth, created in 1917. Demuth, a prominent figure in the Precisionist movement, is best known for his works that blend elements of Cubism and Realism, often focusing on architectural and industrial subjects. This particular painting reflects his interest in capturing the geometric forms and vibrant colors of urban and architectural landscapes.

The artwork was inspired by Demuth's travels to Bermuda, where he visited multiple times between 1916 and 1917. Bermuda's distinctive architecture, characterized by its pastel-colored buildings, white stepped roofs, and lush tropical surroundings, provided a rich source of inspiration for Demuth. In "Buildings, Bermuda," he depicts a cluster of buildings with sharp, angular lines and a harmonious palette of soft pinks, blues, and whites. The composition emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow, showcasing Demuth's skill in rendering depth and structure through watercolor.

This painting is an example of Demuth's transition from his earlier, more fluid and expressive watercolors to the more structured and geometric style that would define his later works. While not as overtly industrial as some of his later Precisionist pieces, "Buildings, Bermuda" demonstrates his growing interest in architectural forms and his ability to distill complex scenes into simplified, almost abstract compositions.

"Buildings, Bermuda" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It is considered an important work within Demuth's oeuvre, as it bridges his earlier explorations of watercolor technique with the more formalist tendencies of his later career. The painting also reflects the broader cultural fascination with Bermuda as a picturesque and exotic destination for American artists and writers in the early 20th century.

Demuth's work, including "Buildings, Bermuda," continues to be celebrated for its innovative approach to modernist art and its ability to capture the essence of place through a unique blend of abstraction and realism.
