More about this artwork

Explore the intimate world of portraiture through Paul Cézanne’s "Two Heads" (1888), a compelling sketch that captures the essence of human expression. This masterful artwork showcases Cézanne's unique ability to convey profound emotions through simple yet powerful strokes.In "Two Heads," we observe two distinct profiles rendered in pencil. The drawing on the left is smaller and lightly sketched, suggesting a preliminary study or a spontaneous capture of a fleeting moment. This profile is gentle and subdued, with soft contours that gently suggest the features of the face.The larger profile on the right is more detailed and dynamically executed. Cézanne’s strokes here are bold and confident, with a greater emphasis on the textures of the hair and the definition of the facial features. The subject’s head is tilted upwards, perhaps in a moment of contemplation or reverence, invoking a sense of introspection or elevated thought.Through these contrasting sketches, Cézanne not only explores different emotional states but also demonstrates his technical versatility—ranging from delicate subtleties to more vigorous, expressive lines. "Two Heads" invites viewers to delve into the psychological depth of its subjects, reflecting the complexity of human nature itself.
