Note du spécialiste

Arthur Segal, born in 1875 in Romania, moved to Berlin in 1892 where he joined the Kunstakademie. First influenced by the landscapes of Segantini he rapidly moved from a pointillist technique to a neo-impressionist style more in keeping with Vincent van Gogh with slightly longer, more detailed brushstrokes.
Together with Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Arthur Melzer, Max Pechstein, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Georg Tappert and others he founded the Neue Secession. In their first exhibition in 1910 he contributed five paintings. The present self-portrait was one of these five exhibited works and was illustrated in the exhibition catalogue.
