More about this artwork

This captivating painting, "Portrait of Paul Sérusier," by Emile Bernard, executed in 1893, is an evocative reflection on an individual and an era that immensely contributed to the narrative of modern art. The portrait showcases Paul Sérusier, a notable figure in the Symbolist movement and a peer of Bernard within the innovative Nabis group, which sought to transcend the traditional expectations of art.In this representation, Sérusier's profile is marked by a thoughtful expression, highlighting his contemplative nature and intellectual depth. Bernard's use of muted yet warm colors draws the viewer into a personal closeness with Sérusier, suggesting his passionate yet introspective character. The brushstrokes are fluid and expressive, conferring texture and a tangible sense of presence to the subject's vividly rendered beard and the soft waviness of his hair.Bernard's method and style in this portrait not only capture the physical likeness of Sérusier but also echo the broader artistic impulses of the era, characterized by an exploration of color and form driven by emotional resonance rather than mere realistic depiction.

Émile Henri Bernard (28 April 1868 – 16 April 1941) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and writer, who had artistic friendships with Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Eugène Boch, and at a later time, Paul Cézanne. Most of his notable work was accomplished at a young age, in the years 1886 through 1897. He is also associated with Cloisonnism and Synthetism, two late 19th-century art movements. Less known is Bernard's literary work, comprising plays, poetry, and art criticism as well as art historical statements that contain first-hand information on the crucial period of modern art to which Bernard had contributed.
