Eugène Anatole Carrière (1849 – 1906)
"Dansk meta beskrivelse": "Udforsk Eugène Carrières stemningsfulde, monocrome malerier fra slutningen af det 19. århundrede – en nøglefigur i den franske symbolisme, kendt for sine intime portrætter og indflydelse på kunstnere som Picasso."
This self-portrait, part of a series begun in 1887, exemplifies Carrière’s signature approach. Nuanced umber tones and hazy brushwork create the impression of the figure materializing out of, or merging into, the surface of the canvas. The misty appearance of Carrière’s work was prized by contemporaries tired of precisely detailed and realistic paintings. A critic once compared Carrière’s style to that of his colleague Auguste Rodin, writing, "Rodin paints in marble and Carrière sculpts with shadow."
