BODIES OF MODERNITY explores the ways in which men's and women's bodies were represented in late 19th-century France. A series of case studies looks at well-known works by Cezanne, Renoir, and Seurat with new interpretation, while lesser-known works are considered seriously for the first time. 140 illustrations, 14 in color.In late 19th-century France, women and men were seen as the polar opposites of nature and emotion, and reason. This book documents how these notions influenced the most important Impressionist artists of the period: Caillebotte, Tissot, Seurat, Renoir and Cezanne.
