FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

Designed after his infamous painting Bathers at Rest (BF906), which the French state rejected from a large bequest, The Large Bathers is the first lithograph Cézanne produced. He originally conceived it as a black-and-white print, but at the request of his dealer, Ambroise Vollard, he later added watercolor to make it into a color lithograph. The printmaker Auguste Clot executed each color stone to produce the final product.
