1891 CE
Ferdinand Hodler's serious work is now divided between landscapes, portraits, and monumental figural compositions.
In the latter works, Hodler's firmly drawn nudes express his mystical philosophy through grave, ritualized gestures.
These pictures are notable for their strong linear and compositional rhythms and their clear, flat, decorative presentation.
He paints a self-portrait (Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva) in 1891.
