In two self-portraits, Paul Cézanne presents not just a likeness but a process of how to see, how to build, how to be. This slow art video lingers on the planes of his face, the sculptural brushwork, and the quiet tension between form and emotion. Neither romanticized nor dramatic, Cézanne’s gaze is analytical and enduring, a mirror of the painter’s pursuit of structure and truth. A face is not just observed, but constructed.
