Paul Cezanne: Bathers

Bathers
Oil on Canvas
1890: 21 3/8" x 26 1/8 "
The Hermitage, St. Petersburg

         Cezanne was the first great abstract painter, perhaps the father of all abstraction in modern art. Bathers were a frequent theme for Cezanne's painting and the bathers are treated not as personalities, but as forms in nature, the same as the trees and the ground below them. They are individuals in the same scenery, neither interacting nor overlapping. There is no eye contact between any of them. The flesh is made up of patches of color that seem to reflect the sunlight in the sky.
