Self-Portrait 1921

Cuno Amiet's "Self-Portrait" from 1921 depicts the artist in a straw hat, facing away from the viewer. The work utilizes bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color, characteristic of Amiet's Expressionist style, and highlights the emotional intensity of the artist's inner world. The simplified forms and flat planes of color create a sense of immediacy, reflecting the artist's personal experiences and thoughts at the time of creation.
