Painting Description
"Self Portrait 1887" is an oil on canvas painting by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. Created during his time in Paris, the artwork measures 42 cm x 34 cm and is part of a series of self-portraits that Van Gogh painted throughout his lifetime. This particular self-portrait is noted for its striking color contrasts and the intense gaze of the artist, which reflects his psychological state and artistic preoccupations during this period.
In this self-portrait, Van Gogh presents himself with a palette and brushes, signifying his identity as a painter. The work is characterized by the bold application of paint and the use of complementary colors, which Van Gogh employed to enhance the emotional depth of the piece. The background of the painting is executed in a vibrant blue, which contrasts with the orange tones of Van Gogh's beard, creating a dynamic visual effect that was influenced by the color theories of the time, particularly those of the Impressionists and the study of color by Charles Blanc.
The painting is a testament to Van Gogh's evolving artistic style, which at the time was transitioning from the darker, earthier tones of his early Dutch period to the brighter, more expressive palette that he developed in France. The self-portrait is also reflective of Van Gogh's engagement with the avant-garde movements in Paris, where he was exposed to the work of artists like Claude Monet and Paul Gauguin.
"Self Portrait 1887" is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it remains an important piece for both its artistic merit and its insight into the life and mind of one of the most celebrated artists in history. The painting is frequently studied for its contributions to the development of modern art and is considered one of the many significant self-portraits that Van Gogh created during his prolific but tragically short career.
