Self Portraits

Vincent started painting when he was 27 years old.
He didn’t have enough money for pay for models so he painted himself.
He painted 36 self portraits in ten years.
Vincent used portrait painting as a method of introspection and to develop his skills as a painter.
During the presentation they had his portraits flying off the screen as you watched.
They started with a photograph of him, something I had never seen before.

This is a great place glad they allow photos to be taken.. I don't think I've ever seen a photo of Van Gogh either, very interesting after seeing only the paintings

Distinct and unusual presentation of the work of this artist. I really like the whole scene, captured well by you. V

It's fascinating that he saw himself somewhat differently from his photograph.

Merci pour l’explication, c’est très intéressant.

interesting that photo was chosen from the many options...it provides a strong contrast with the wild eyed artist he painted in his series of SPs..

The self-portraits of Van Gogh are fascinating to study, especially when viewed chronologically. "V"

Despite reading and viewing his work I had never seen a photograph of him. I enjoyed seeing it next to a familiar painting. "VV"
