Portrait of Émile Bernard
Émile SchuffeneckerAround 1889
Museum of Pont-Aven
Pont-Aven, France
Émile Schuffenecker played a key role in the meeting between Paul Gauguin and Émile Bernard in Pont-Aven in 1886, as well as in the group's exhibition at the Café Volpini in 1889. This pastel, a preparatory study for the portrait of Bernard now in Houston, testifies to their artistic affinity. Schuffenecker offers an intimate and expressive portrait, the result of a deep connection with his subject.
