  1. "The Bathers," Paul Cézanne, 1899-1904.

    Cézanne (1839-1906) was an important painter in that he bridged the gap between Impressionism and modern art movements; in fact, some say that Cubism wouldn't have existed without him.

    This is one of a series of similarly-themed paintings that he produced late in life (a larger and more famous version is at the Philadelphia Museum of Art), and a series where he abandoned the current ideas of what art should be, and flouted convention in creating a new style that he felt would stand the test of time. And obviously, it did.

    While it seems idyllic, a closer look tells you that it's all done in quick, energetic strokes, with no real attention to detail, just enough to get the point across. By communicating his image with quick strokes and basic shapes, he helped inspire the Cubists and other modern artists who came later, and he's still revered by the avant-garde today.

    Many of his "Bathers" paintings only went on exhibit posthumously; he died of pneumonia (after being caught in a bad storm and refusing to go in, resulting in hypothermia) at 67.

  6. Seven Bathers (1900) by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906). From the 1870s until the end of his life, Cézanne multiplied paintings of bathers, both male and female. His great ambition was to achieve a complete fusion of the human figure and the landscape. Each element is given the same importance in a sort of common architecture. The artist does not focus on the flesh, as Renoir did, but rather on the bodies which powerfully structure the space.
