Self-Portrait as a Soldier

Charles Camoin was a French painter associated with Fauvism and the Post-Impressionist movement in early twentieth-century France. Working primarily in oil on canvas, he developed a distinctive approach to color and light that bridged the intensity of Fauvist gesture with a sustained interest in figure painting and landscape. His career spanned nearly seven decades, during which he maintained a commitment to representational work even as modernism evolved around him.
