The effect of Paul Cézanne's The Large Bathers on Matisse's Bonheur de Vivre and
Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon will be examined in this written contribution. A
look at how each artist developed their creativity and freed themselves to make
work that is uniquely Cézanne will be discussed. The relationship between
Impressionism and Cubism and older movements will be investigated, as well as
why the painters admired the feminine form.
All through his career, Paul Cézanne was influenced by a variety of people. He hailed
from an affluent background, unlike many of his colleagues, and he studied the great
masters in Paris, imitating their work in his sketches and paintings. Cézanne
continued to do so till he died. Cézanne modeled his paintings after the ancient
masters' shape and structure, which can be seen in many of his works (VAC, n.d.-a).
Cézanne painted 11 works in his bathing series, which are now housed in
prestigious institutions and museums across the world. The picture Large Bathers
(1898-1905) was a masterful work by the artist, evoking the classic structure seen
in the masters while being encased in a shape that did not depict the bodies as they
had been.
