Cèzanne, Large Bathers

Large Bathers,
Paul Cèzanne,
 1899
 Post-Impressionism

Another one of his favorite subjects. It is an important traditional subject matter with jarring details.

The clothed figures in the background raise questions about the politics of the gaze. This is similar to investigations by Manet in LèDejeneur and Olympia and by Degas in his dancer paintings.
