Wow, I've seen pictures of that self-portrait before but I've never appreciated its strength till I saw it here. I hope I'll make it to London to see it someday.

singlespies You and me both friend! I’m counting down the days; it’s not marked on my calendar, but it’s going to come hopefully.

I always love uploads like these; a dream of mine is to one day attend the National Gallery. Please please please upload more!

We will be - don't worry!

Imho Cezanne knew that somethings never change, there is something constant in gestures and landscapes.

Really interesting thank you.

No matter the nationality of the critic, or the viewer, the drawing and often other elements of paintings by Cezanne MUST challenge one's sense of rightness: if these are not felt, then one is not looking enough. So early British critics were not 'wrong'. There is also so much more to be said about, for instance, this self portrait, than that it has 'relief' - and so much more than even Roger Fry, who made a close copy of it, could say - or show.
