Paul Cezanne - Large Bathers
Residual influences from the academy and good eyeballs at work here.
The yellow divisions are the Golden Ratio's of the height and width (.382 and .618). The reddish lines are 1/4 and 1/2 divisions and the 1/2 diagonals. The green and cyan are 1/3, 1/6, 1/9 divisions and the 1/3 diagonals.

Hi George, what should the grids show or proof ?
Best regards, Hans
Hans, In the case of Cezanne I think not much. I made these compositional studies on request. These were compositional methods used starting in the early Rennaisance and once taught in art history classes.
