FEATURE MASTERWORKS ON PAPER
BY PICASSO, REMBRANDT and CÉZANNE
Corps Exquis will display renderings of the male and female form from the Baroque to the Post-modern era. A wide-ranging selection of drawings, etchings, lithographs, mixed and new media of the “exquisite body” - a central theme in the visual arts - rendered by Pablo Picasso, Kiki Smith, Paul Cézanne, Ida Applebroog, Vanessa Beecroft, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Duncan Grant, among other American and European artists, will be on view in the Myers Family Gallery.
New
acquisitions will be featured for the first time at the Cornell including Paul Cézanne’s The Large Bathers, ca. 1896 -97, two Pablo Picasso’s from 1905 and 1955, and, Rembrandt van Rijn’s Woman Bathing her Feet at a Brook, ca. 1658. These rare works of
art offer the viewing public an extraordinary opportunity to see a variety of
masterworks of the human figure. For example, Paul Cézanne treated the subject of the bather in more than two
hundred works over the course of twenty years, and approached this most
conventional of figurative themes in a radically unconventional manner. At the
insistence of the great Parisian art dealer, Ambroise
Vollard, the Cézanne created The Large Bathers, his most elaborate print, after his 1876-77 oil
painting of the same composition (collection: Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia;
variation in Musée d'art et d'histoire,
Geneva).
