Self-Portrait

ca. 1902
Not on view
This recently rediscovered drawing represents Aman-Jean's early synthesist style of draftsmanship. It appears related to a self-portrait published in 1902 in the "Album Mariani," a promotional venture that featured short biographical notices and wood-engraved portraits of celebrated figures of the day. Aman-Jean trained with Henri Lehmann at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts alongside Georges Seurat with whom he later shared a studio. Seurat portrayed Aman-Jean at work on a drawing in his portrait of the artist with which he made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1883 (61.101.16).
