Cézanne's Techniques: Experimentation and Artistic Growth

In "Self-Portrait in a Casquette," Cézanne departs from the traditional, idealized self-portraits of the time.

His use of color is equally unconventional, with vibrant, contrasting hues that create a sense of depth and dynamism.

Beyond the Image: Symbolism and Identity

The sitter's distinctive attire, a black casquette or cap, adds to the painting's enigmatic quality. The casquette, often associated with laborers and artists, suggests Cézanne's identification with both worlds. His direct and unyielding gaze confronts the viewer, inviting us to question his motivations and artistic intentions.
