1904, Paul Cezanne, The Bathers -- Tate Modern (London) (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: The bathers are among the very few large-scale canvases Cezanne produced after the 1870s. For the last ten years of his life, he worked on three monumental Large Bather compositions, constantly changing the figures’ positions, shapes and outlines. He repeatedly extended the sizes of canvases, adding layers of paint, and experimenting with pigments, tonality and mark making. All three paintings were still in Cezanne’s studio the day he died – a testimony to his continuous research and experimentation through this theme.
