The cigarette adds a touch of bohemian flair.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHenri-Edmond Cross, a French painter born in 1856, is best known for his contributions to the Neo-Impressionist movement. He, along with artists like Seurat and Signac, explored the science of optics and colour theory, applying it to their artistic practice. Cross's work often features landscapes and scenes of leisure, rendered in a pointillist style, characterised by small, distinct dots of colour that blend together when viewed from a distance. His later works display a move away from strict pointillism, with broader brushstrokes and a brighter palette. This self-portrait presents Cross as a young man, confidently gazing at the viewer. The loose brushwork and warm colour palette create a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The cigarette adds a touch of bohemian flair, hinting at the artist's personality and lifestyle. The portrait is rendered in a relatively naturalistic style, though the influence of Impressionism is evident in the broken brushstrokes and attention to light and shadow. The background is kept simple and indistinct, drawing attention to the artist's face and expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/study-for-bathers-at-asnieres-georges-seurat\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eStudy for 'Bathers at Asnières' - Georges Seurat — Georges Seurat\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/geneva-1919-paul-signac\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGeneva, 1919 - Paul Signac — Paul Signac\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henri-Edmond Cross","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57713746608463,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57713747198287,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57713747231055,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57713747263823,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57713747296591,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Self-Portrait-with-Cigarette_Poster_CompositorV1_1778979125107.jpg?v=1778979885","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/self-portrait-with-cigarette-henri-edmond-cross","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
