 | Description |  |
The young woman's pensive pose is traditional in the history of art to convey a somber, thoughtful mood. Here it is combined with a haunting, mask-like face, giving the figure a psychological depth unusual in C?zanne's work. C?zanne reformulated the art of the past, however, with his bold brushwork, reinterpretation of space, and radical use of color. His new style would prove to be extremely influential on the next generation of artists, especially Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
