Seurat's [the Model] 1
Unlike Cezanne's [Bathers], each nude is independently structured.
Besides the nude in the middle is centered: the composition is very classical.
The cotour of the body seems to be uniquely smooth with a succesion of the same curve: the circle-arc model confirms it.
Seurat [the Model] circle-arc model
The dark pink arcs are dominant with a few purple arcs.
I found the study for this painting online recently.
The appearance of the body is very similar though the proportion is different .
Seurat study for [the Model]
The circle-arc model can be made without the purple circles.
Seurat study for [the Model]
The model has not only pivots (intersection of circles) but also lined up units
I find the same techniqus in the classical nudes.
[The Model] reached the same high quality as the classical art.
Cezanne's painting became the forerunner of modern art because he did not care about content.
His [Bathers ] are immediately understood by those who could sense the formal structure.
