Cezanne at Barnes Foundation

This Cezanne was a surprise. I couldn't remember ever seeing it.

dated 1876-77




The Bathers as a motif is one of the interesting things the Barnes has alot of. Sadly I couldn't take pictures so it will take some special investigation to put together all the pieces in my head.

One thing I'm wondering about is that there is recently a photograph at the Modern of the Bather that Cezanne painted.

Strange as there seem to be alot of paintings that predate the Modern's Bather and all have the motif of the white, underwear like garment.
