Le Bagnanti nell'Arte

Il tema delle bagnanti "The Bathers" - l’inserimento delle figure nel paesaggio, occupa una parte cospicua nella produzione pittorica dei grandi maestri, diventando fondamentale per la stessa storia dell'Arte.

Le numerosissime tele di Cézanne influenzarono profondamente tutti i protagonisti delle avanguardie, da Matisse a Braque, da Picasso a Moore.

Soprattutto Picasso e Matisse, e tramite loro gran parte dei pittori del Novecento, pur attraverso percorsi diversi, gli saranno debitori di nuove possibilità espressive del linguaggio pittorico.
