Man in a Straw Hat 1871

"Man in a Straw Hat" is a painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne, created in 1871. This portrait showcases Cézanne's distinct style, marked by bold brushstrokes and a focus on form and structure. The subject, a man with a prominent beard, is depicted against a dark background, with the straw hat adding a contrasting element of light. The painting's vibrant colors and simplified forms are characteristic of Cézanne's later works, which laid the groundwork for modern art.
