Painting Description
"Self Portrait (Les Misérables)" is an 1888 oil painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. This work is one of Gauguin's many self-portraits, in which he often explored his own identity and psychological state. The title references Victor Hugo's novel "Les Misérables," suggesting a connection between the artist's self-perception and the novel's themes of social injustice and redemption.
In this painting, Gauguin portrays himself with a stern, contemplative expression, set against a richly colored background that reflects the influence of the cloisonnism style, characterized by bold outlines and flat areas of color. The self-portrait is notable for its introspective quality and the way it captures the artist's sense of isolation and inner turmoil. Gauguin's choice to associate himself with the character of Jean Valjean from Hugo's novel may imply a sense of personal martyrdom or a feeling of being misunderstood by society.
The painting is a testament to Gauguin's innovative style and his departure from Impressionism, as he moved towards a more symbolic and synthetic approach to art. "Self Portrait (Les Misérables)" is held in high regard for its emotional depth and its pivotal role in the development of Gauguin's artistic identity. The work is part of the collection at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the understanding of post-Impressionist portraiture.
