Bathers 1890

"Bathers" is a watercolor painting by Paul Cézanne, one of the most influential Post-Impressionist artists, created in 1890. This artwork is a study for a larger oil painting and showcases Cézanne's distinctive style. The painting depicts a group of bathers, but their forms are fragmented and simplified, with an emphasis on geometric shapes and bold brushstrokes. This study is a testament to Cézanne's exploration of form and color, reflecting his artistic approach of building up compositions with small, distinct brushstrokes. The artwork is currently housed in the Artizon Museum in Tokyo, Japan.
