About the Self Portrait Painting
The artist painted his own image at regular
intervals throughout his life. They are generally
seen as insights into the psychological makeup
of the great Dutch painter. This self portrait
of Van Gogh has a swirling background that
echoes the bust of the artist, but could also
reflect the thinking of Vincent at the time
of painting it.
Although the painting is almost monochromatic
with an abundance of blues, the artist's orange
and yellow beard contrasts with the blues
and purples of the background and clothes
worn by Vincent. |
