Portrait von Oskar Kurt 1894

Cuno Amiet's "Portrait von Oskar Kurt" (1894) portrays a young man with a stoic expression. The painting uses a pointillist style, characterized by small dots of color applied to the canvas, creating a textured and vibrant effect. The subject, Oskar Kurt, is depicted with a blue tie against a warm background, a contrast that draws the viewer's eye to his face and creates a sense of depth. This work is representative of Amiet's early style, which fused elements of Impressionism with the techniques of pointillism.
