Self-portrait 1875

Paul Cézanne's "Self-portrait" from 1875 is a powerful and introspective work that showcases the artist's characteristic style. The brushstrokes are bold and visible, capturing the texture of the sitter's beard and the contours of his face. The use of color is rich and vibrant, with warm tones dominating the composition. The artist's gaze is direct and intense, conveying a sense of self-awareness and introspection. This painting exemplifies Cézanne's contributions to Post-Impressionism, as he challenged traditional techniques and explored new ways of representing form and space. The work currently resides in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
