Self Portrait 1945

Pierre Bonnard's "Self Portrait" (1945) depicts the artist in a loose and expressive style, characteristic of his later works. Painted just two years before his death, the portrait shows Bonnard's face close-up, his features obscured by a hazy, almost dreamlike quality. The background is composed of vibrant, abstract brushstrokes, suggesting an interior setting, perhaps the artist's studio. The work showcases Bonnard's mastery of color and light, as well as his exploration of subjective perception and the ephemeral nature of memory.
