About The Bath
Degas wanted his depictions of bathtub and toilette scenes to seem completely real, as though you were looking through a keyhole. ''I show them stripped of their coquetry, in the state of animals cleansing themselves,'' he once remarked dryly. It is a description readily applicable to ''The Bath,'' circa 1895, and also perhaps to ''Woman Drying Her Hair,'' circa 1896-99, an unusually large charcoal-and-pastel drawing of a naked woman rubbing her neck. These pictures would have been deeply offensive a century ago because the subjects are women of availability; decent ladies bathed in a slip. About the Posters
