1880s -1914 · Face, identity and modern surface
The post-impressionist portrait abandons the unity of the academic model: color, outline and decor make visible the artist's temperament, social role and view of himself.
After impressionism, portraiture became a field of deeply personal experiences. Van Gogh multiplied self-portraits and painted Doctor Gachet with an undulating line, intense blues and an assumed melancholy. Gauguin and Émile Bernard uses self-portraiture as an aesthetic statement, associating their face with works, symbols or colors that claim an artistic position. Cézanne slowly constructs the model in plans, without sacrifice presence to geometry. Neo-impressionists like Théo van Rysselberghe divided color down to the face, reconciling resemblance and vibration. Vallotton simplifies the portrait into frank masses and relationships psychological, while Odilon Redon moves the eyes, the dream and the interiority towards symbolism. Schiele, later heir to these ruptures, pushes contour and posture to a nervous intensity. The self-portrait is no more only memory of the face: it affirms an artistic identity under construction. The selection "Post-impressionist portraits and self-portraits" notably compares Portrait of Doctor Gachet and Myself, landscape portrait. His reading favors movement.
In the post-impressionist portrait, resembling is no longer enough: the model must exist in an organization of color, line and tension.
