The Large Bathers

Decent Essays
Paul Cezanne`s painting" The Large Bathers " was his largest painter and quite different from his previous painter. One of the charcter of his painting which makes his painting unique is that he included nuditiy while including some tree in different forms. One can see from his painting that all the women are nude and perform different activites. From my understanding of the painting that the women are in freedom and enjoying the nature. But when it comes to the reality, women can not act such a way even if they want to do that because of the traditional and some religious belive.

Paul Cezane`s paining inspired many artist like Matisses`s Bonheur de Vivre(Joy of life) and Picasso`s LES demoiselles d`Avignon.
Both of them inspired to continue painting of the nudity of many

"The figures are uncrowded" (Khanacademy.org, 2017). This shows that how Matisse tried to make the nude woman in free than the Paul Cezane painting. Because in Paul Cezane paining, the nude woman seems so close and closed in some small area where the tree is formed in the form of triangle.
Although Picasso was inspired to paint the nudity but he has follow his own expression of the surrounding the environment. "His space is interior , closed, and almost claustrophobic"( Khanacademy.org, 2017). In his painting, the five nude women are so close each other and they seemed worried when one observe from their face which is quite different than Paul Cezanne`s painting.
Picasso was a great observer that when he saw some paining , he understand in detail and express it more than the first painter did in his own way of expression. So his painting was very acceptable and succsessfull that the original painter.
Both painter was inspired and influenced well by the art work of Paul Cezzane where both of them described him their basis for developing further their

    Picasso’s use of color is rather interesting, as even though it provides a sense of dullness, it also provides a sense of realism, as the colors are natural and not extravagant. Picasso’s usage of unity is shown within the variety of shapes that we used. By forming into the shape of a women, it is entirely clear on what was the main focus that Picasso wanted to discuss.
