This image appears to be a page from a newspaper or magazine, likely from the early to mid-20th century, based on the style of the printed text and the black-and-white photographs. The page contains two separate images and captions:

  1. Top Left Image:

    • The image is a black-and-white reproduction of a self-portrait, attributed to Paul Gauguin. The style is somewhat impressionistic, with a focus on the artist's face and the contemplative pose, with his hands resting on his cheeks.
    • The text below the image reads: "Self-Portrait, by Paul Gauguin. One of Seven Self-Portraits By Gauguin, Cezanne and Van Gogh Included in the First Exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art, 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The Gauguin Canvas Here Pictured Is From the Collection of W. S. Stimmel of Pittsburgh."
  2. Bottom Right Image:

    • The image is a black-and-white reproduction of a portrait, attributed to Paul Cézanne. This work appears more formal and traditional in style compared to Gauguin's self-portrait.
    • The text below the image reads: "Portrait of Madame Cezanne, by Paul Cezanne. This Painting by the 'Hermit of Aix' Is From a Private New York Collection and Is on Loan Exhibition at the New Museum of Modern Art."

The page seems to be highlighting these artworks in relation to an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The text and the style of the photographs suggest that this could be from a periodical covering art exhibitions or fine arts news.

This image is a scanned page containing two separate artistic reproductions, likely from a newspaper or an art publication, featuring self-portraits by Paul Gauguin and Paul Cézanne.

Top Left Section:

  • Title: "Self-Portait" by Paul Gauguin.
  • Description: The image is a monochrome illustration of Gauguin painting a self-portrait. He is seated in a chair, leaning slightly forward, and holding a paintbrush, appearing focused on his work. The background includes some sketched elements, such as curtains and possibly a window.
  • Caption: The text below describes the artwork as one of seven self-portraits by Gauguin, Cézanne, and Van Gogh included in the first exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art, 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City. This particular Gauguin canvas is from the collection of W.S. Stimmel of Pittsburgh.

Bottom Right Section:

  • Title: "Portrait of Madame Cézanne" by Paul Cézanne.
  • Description: This is a smaller, monochrome illustration of a woman, presumably Madame Cézanne. She is shown in profile, wearing a dark, formal hat or head covering, with her face turned slightly away from the viewer. The style is somewhat realistic with a muted palette.
  • Caption: The text below notes that this painting by the "Hermit of Aix" (a nickname for Paul Cézanne) is from a private New York collection and is on loan for exhibition at the New Museum of Modern Art.

Overall Design:

The illustrations are presented in a newspaper-style layout with black-and-white halftone printing. The paper itself appears aged, with a yellowish tint. There are three holes along the right margin, suggesting the page was part of a binder or scrapbook. The overall layout is simple and focused on the art reproductions.

This image is a scanned or photographed page, likely from a newspaper clipping or an art publication, mounted on aged, cream-colored paper with three punch holes along the right margin. The page features two sepia-toned reproductions of paintings by Post-Impressionist masters, each accompanied by a caption.


Top Image:

  • Title & Artist: “Self-Portrait,” by Paul Gauguin
  • Description: This reproduction shows a stylized self-portrait of Gauguin in profile, looking down and to the right. He has dark, wavy hair and a prominent, somewhat elongated nose. He appears to be wearing a loose garment and is holding a slender object, possibly a palette or a stick. The background is simplified and abstract, with vertical lines suggesting trees or a wall. The style is characteristic of Gauguin’s Symbolist period, with bold outlines and flattened forms.
  • Caption Text: “One of Seven Self-Portraits By Gauguin, Cezanne and Van Gogh Included in the First Exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art, 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The Gauguin Canvas Here Pictured Is From the Collection of W. S. Stimmel of Pittsburgh.”

Bottom Right Image:

  • Title & Artist: “Portrait of Madame Cezanne,” by Paul Cezanne
  • Description: This smaller reproduction shows a portrait of a woman, identified as Madame Cezanne, viewed from the side. She is looking toward the left. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a dark dress with a visible white collar or neckline. The image is somewhat grainy and dark, emphasizing the form and volume rather than fine detail, consistent with Cezanne’s approach to portraying his subjects.
  • Caption Text: “This Painting by the ‘Hermit of Aix’ Is From a Private New York Collection and Is on Loan Exhibition at the New Museum of Modern Art.”

Overall Context:

The page documents the presence of these two significant works in an early exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. The caption for the Gauguin piece identifies it as part of a group of seven self-portraits by the three artists. It also notes the specific owners and loan status of the paintings. The physical evidence of the paper (age, holes) suggests this is a historical artifact, preserving a record of art exhibition history from the early to mid-20th century.
