More about this artwork

Explore the early mastery of Édouard Vuillard in "Self-Portrait, Aged 21," an insightful piece created in 1889 that showcases the young artist’s burgeoning skill and self-perception. This haunting portrayal reveals a young Vuillard looking out at the viewer with an expression mixing pensiveness and resolve. His features are rendered with brisk, confident brushstrokes, emphasizing the texture of his skin and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The dark, almost indistinct background contrasts sharply with the more luminously painted face and collar, drawing the viewer’s focus squarely to his introspective gaze.

Jean-Édouard Vuillard (11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a prominent member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form. As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of prominent figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings.

Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
