Paul CA zanne Madame CA zanne Green Hat Madame CA zanne au chapeau vert
Paul Cezanne: Madame Cezanne with Green Hat (Madame Cezanne au chapeau vert), Paul Cezanne, 1891-1892, Oil on canvas, Cezanne painted at least 29 portraits of his wife, Hortense Fiquet. Here she appears in a green upholstered chair with her elbow resting on a strangely elongated arm. Fashionably dressed, Hortense leans at a seemingly uncomfortable angle to the left, an awkward posture matched by her stern expression. The thrust-out lower lip and blank stare contrast with her whimsical hat decorated with leaves; its transparent brim reveals her forehead underneath. With its warped perspective and dour-looking sitter, Cezannes canvas disrupts the conventions of female portraiture. Overall: 39 1/2 x 32 in. (100.3 x 81.3 cm)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Paul Cezanne presents us with a unique depiction of his wife, Hortense Fiquet. Painted between 1891 and 1892, "Madame Cezanne with Green Hat" showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of his subject while defying traditional female portraiture conventions. Hortense sits elegantly in a green upholstered chair, her elbow resting on an oddly elongated arm that adds an intriguing touch to the composition. Despite her fashionable attire, there is an air of discomfort as she leans at an unusual angle to the left. Her stern expression and thrust-out lower lip create a sense of tension within the painting. However, it is Hortense's whimsical hat that steals our attention. Adorned with delicate leaves and featuring a transparent brim revealing her forehead underneath, it adds a playful element amidst the otherwise serious atmosphere. Cezanne's use of warped perspective further enhances the unconventional nature of this artwork. The dour-looking sitter challenges societal expectations by deviating from conventional beauty standards prevalent in female portraiture during that time. With its thought-provoking elements and innovative approach to representation, "Madame Cezanne with Green Hat" disrupts artistic norms and invites viewers to question their preconceived notions about portraiture. This canvas stands as one among many portraits (a total of 29) painted by Cezanne depicting his beloved wife throughout their life together.
