Self-Portrait - Posters
199 Rs
Vincent van Gogh (1853-90) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100 artworks but received little recognition during his lifetime.
Van Gogh was unsuccessful during his lifetime and was considered a madman and a failure. He became famous after his suicide, and exists in the public imagination as the quintessential misunderstood and tortured genius artist.

About SelfPortrait
Vincent van Gogh painted his first known self-portrait in 1886, following the model of the 17th-century Dutch artist Rembrandt. But by the time he made this work, a year later, he had clearly shifted his allegiance from the Old Masters to the Parisian avant-garde. Under the influence of Neo-Impressionist colour theory, he based this painting on the contrast of complementary colours. The overall blue-green tone of the background serves as a foil to the orange-red of the artist's hair and beard. While the intensity of the colours is enhanced by the brushwork, the painting's energy and turbulence hint at the inner life of the artist.About the Posters
