About this artwork
In 1886 Vincent van Gogh left his native Holland and settled in Paris, where his dearest brother Theo was a dealer in paintings. Van Gogh created at least 20-four self-portraits during his ii-year stay in the energetic French majuscule. This early example is small-scale in size and was painted on prepared artist'southward board rather than canvass. Its densely dabbed brushwork, which became a hallmark of Van Gogh'southward style, reflects the artist's response to Georges Seurat's revolutionary pointillist technique in A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884. But what was for Seurat a method based on the absurd objectivity of science became in Van Gogh's hands an intense emotional language. The surface of the painting dances with particles of colour—intense greens, blues, reds, and oranges. Dominating this dazzling array of staccato dots and dashes are the artist's deep light-green eyes and the intensity of their gaze. "I adopt painting people's eyes to cathedrals," Van Gogh once wrote to Theo. "However solemn and imposing the latter may be—a human soul, exist it that of a poor streetwalker, is more interesting to me." From Paris, Van Gogh traveled to the southern town of Arles for fifteen months. At the time of his decease, in 1890, he had actively pursued his fine art for only five years.
