EDITORS COMMENTS
Getting Out of the Bath," a captivating lithograph in green on paper created by Georges William Thornley in 1889-90, is a striking example of French Impressionist art housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. This masterpiece invites us into a private moment of introspection, as a young woman, her body glistening with water, bends forward from a bathtub, her long hair cascading down her back. The use of vibrant green as the dominant color adds an air of freshness and vitality to the scene, transporting us to a serene and peaceful countryside setting. Thornley's expert use of lithotint, a technique that involves applying multiple layers of color to create a gradient effect, is evident in the way the woman's skin transitions seamlessly from the warm tones of the bath to the cooler hues of the surrounding room. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the woman's body curves and contours, as well as the intricate patterns of the bath's tiles and the delicate folds of her towel. The image invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of a private moment of relaxation and self-care, as well as the universal experience of getting out of the bath. The young woman's expression, a mix of contentment and thoughtfulness, invites us to connect with her on a deeper level, making this a truly captivating work of art. Originally from France, Thornley's "Getting Out of the Bath" is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the beauty and complexity of the human experience. This lithograph is a must-see for anyone interested in Impressionist art, or for those seeking a moment of respite and reflection in the midst of their day.
