AN HEAVENLY EMBRACE WITH THE EMBRACE OF HELL --THE OBVIOUS CONSTRAST BETWEEN THESE TWO SAY SOMETHING -- BOUGUEREAR IS BRILLIANT IN THIS DEPARTMENT PORTRAYING SUCH AN EMOTIONALLY APPEALING PAINTINGS WITH SUCH DEPTH -- HIS USE OF BARE AND RAW NUDITY IS IMPECCABLE
WITH MORE FROM HIS ENDLESS COLLECTION
'Temptation"
'A Little Coaxing' 1890
'Bathers'

NO WONDER HE WAS CONSIDERED THE GREATEST 19TH CENTURY PAINTER OF HIS TIME -- AND FINALLY MAYBE HIS POINT IN HIS OPPOSITION TOWARDS IMPRESSIONIS WAS TO PRESENT A CONTRADICTED REALITY WITH A STARK OF REALISM IN MIND
