Self-Portrait 1882

Paul Cézanne's "Self-Portrait" from 1882 is a striking example of his Post-Impressionist style. Known for its simplified forms and bold brushstrokes, the painting depicts Cézanne in a dark blue coat and a black hat, his face illuminated by a striking yellow hue. The artist's intense gaze and the fragmented background, suggesting a window and a red wall, further enhance the sense of depth and dimensionality in this captivating portrait. The work, now housed in the Kunsthaus Zürich, showcases Cézanne's unique ability to capture the essence of his subject while exploring the interplay of color and form.
