Description

Vincent van Gogh's self-portraits are a cornerstone of his oeuvre, yet often overshadowed by the artist's tumultuous life. This publication reconsiders the role of self-representation in Van Gogh's work, exploring the power and emotion behind these highly personal paintings. The exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery brings together half of Van Gogh's thirty-five known self-portraits, spanning both his time in Paris and Provençal periods. This is the first comprehensive examination of this theme, shedding new light on the artist's approach to self-portraiture. By painting himself, Van Gogh gained a practical model for experimentation and created an homage to Rembrandt, while also fashioning his own identity. Through 152 pages of high-quality images, "Van Gogh Self-Portraits" offers a fresh perspective on this fascinating aspect of the artist's work.
