Discusses an epochal shift in the representation of sexuality in modern art with the images of nudes made by Paul Cezanne. This book proposes a way of reading Cezanne's biography as a form of art criticism. It also proposes a reading of Cezanne's images of bathers that accounts for their strangenesses and for the pleasures they produce.
