See Douglas Druick, 'Cézanne's Lithographs' in William Rubin (ed.), Cézanne: the Late Work (London 1978), pp.119-37

(Text from 'From Manet to Toulouse-Lautrec', BM 1978, cat.84)

This lithograph has been thoroughly investigated in an outstanding article by Douglas Druick, 'Cézanne, Vollard and Lithography: the Ottawa Maquette for the 'Large Bathers' Colour Lithograph', Bulletin of National Gallery of Canada, no.19, 1972 pp.2-24. Vollard commissioned it, along with a self-portrait, from Cézanne for a projected third 'Album des Peintres-Graveurs' which was never published. It follows closely a painting of 1875-6 now in the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania. As in the case of Puvis de Chavannes, this painting was chosen for reproduction since it was the artist's work best known to the public. It had been shown in the Impressionist exhibition of 1877 and had been lavishly praised by various critics. Cézanne drew the design on transfer paper. He then coloured in watercolour impressions of the design printed in black (three are known at present, one of which is in the National Gallery of Canada), and these served as Clot's guide in the preparation of the three colour stones. Druick distinguishes two editions printed from two different sets of stones and with very different colours. The editions can be distinguished by the presence or absence of the printed signature.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
