Self-Portrait

Paul Cézanne's Self-Portrait (1885) is a compelling work that showcases his evolving style within the Post-impressionism movement. Created using oil on canvas, this self-portrait reveals Cézanne's focus on capturing his own image with bold brushstrokes and innovative composition. Interestingly, recent discoveries suggest this painting was originally an earlier portrait, later painted over. As a significant piece in Cézanne's oeuvre, it reflects his pursuit of personal expression while pushing artistic boundaries characteristic of the Post-impressionism movement.
