TITLE: PAINTING - The Large Bathers - POST IMPRESSIONISM

DESCRIPTION: CEZANNE. Later work. His masterpiece. Huge. Dies next year. Gone very far with abstraction. Not a symbolic painter, he's a formal painter with no secrets or symbols. Outlines figures. Cezanne difficult and a turning point in art. Like Giotto turned art away from Byzantine toward naturalism, Cezanne turns art away from naturalism of 19th century to abstraction.
