“An astute and original analysis of Cézanne’s key canvases, the
Bathers, and through them, of the equally central issue in Cézanne
scholarship, namely, the erotic dimension of his vision . . . a
stimulating, truly provocative study.”—Ewa Lajer-Burcharth,Harvard
University
“For the lay reader, Cézanne’s Bathers can be challenging at
points, but it’s a rewarding look at how art history gets made and
how a careful sifting through the available evidence leads to the
revelation of new meanings.”—Ann Landi ARTnews
