Paul Cézanne — The Large Bathers (venturi 1157; Druick I)

Paul Cézanne

The Large Bathers (venturi 1157; Druick I)

This lithograph by Paul Cézanne depicts a group of female bathers arranged in a harmonious composition within a natural setting, rendered with his characteristic broken, expressive lines. Produced between 1896 and 1898, this rare first state example demonstrates Cézanne's exploration of form and spatial relationships that would prove so influential to modern art. Printed in an edition of approximately 100 on MBM laid paper, this work represents a significant achievement in his relatively limited but highly regarded printmaking output.
