About the Item
Pointillist School, Early 20th Century
Bather
Oil on paper, 66 x 47 cm
Provenance:
Private collection, France
This anonymous work, attributable to the Pointillist school of the early 20th century, elegantly reflects the enduring influence of Neo-Impressionism, initiated by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac in the late 19th century. The artist, here unidentified, stands in direct continuity with this pictorial revolution, which sought to capture light and color with renewed intensity through the systematic application of small, juxtaposed touches.
The female figure, seated in a folded, introspective pose, embodies a silent, almost sacred contemplation. The warm palette of the body subtly contrasts with the cooler tones of the ground and background, enhancing the sculptural presence of the model. The pointillist technique is handled here with both precision and sensitivity: the vibrant yet disciplined color dots form a harmonious whole, where each point contributes to the overall rhythm and atmosphere.
The choice of paper as a support—less conventional than canvas—adds a sense of intimacy and fragility that reinforces the tenderness of the subject. The absence of any concrete setting places the figure in a near-abstract space, evoking a moment suspended in time.
This Bather belongs to an artistic movement that, while rooted in a scientific exploration of color, still manages to preserve a deep sense of humanity. The treatment of the subject, both modest and sensual, echoes the post-impressionist concern for the human body and light, while maintaining the formal rigor characteristic of Pointillism. A silent, meditative work, emblematic of an era striving for harmony between science and emotion.
