麦わら帽子の自画像
from 1875 until 1876
Paul Cézanne stares back at us with a rugged, thick beard and a bright yellow straw hat in this striking self-portrait from the mid-1870s. Notice how the edges of his dark coat and the background seem to dissolve into the raw canvas, a hallmark of his experimental Post-Impressionist style. He wasn't interested in perfect realism; instead, he used thick, deliberate brushstrokes to capture the structural weight of his own face. It's a raw, unfiltered look at the artist who would eventually pave the way for Cubism, looking like a rugged outdoorsman rather than a polished Parisian painter.
