After the Bath (large version), 1891-1892. Creator: Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917)
After the Bath (large version), 1891-1892. About 1876 Degas began to make lithographs with which he attained a rich tonality using only black and white. As with every medium in which he worked, Degas pushed lithography to new levels of expressiveness. In the 1880s and 1890s, Degas made many studies of a nude drying herself after a bath. He once wrote: " it is essential to do the same subject over again, ten times, one hundred times. Nothing in art must seem to be chance, not even movement."

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Edgar Degas, a renowned French artist of the 19th century. Known for his mastery in various mediums, Degas pushed lithography to new heights of expressiveness. This particular artwork showcases his exceptional ability to achieve rich tonality using only black and white. In the late 1800s, Degas delved into numerous studies depicting a nude woman drying herself after bathing. He believed in repetition as a means to capture every detail meticulously and eliminate any semblance of chance or spontaneity in art, even when portraying movement. The print exudes an impressionistic charm that characterizes much of Degas' work. It transports viewers back in time, offering them a glimpse into an intimate moment frozen forever on paper. The delicate lines and intricate shading bring forth the sensuality and vulnerability of the subject. This exquisite piece is part of The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection and serves as a testament to Degas' artistic prowess within the realm of lithography.
