This
is an ambitious self portrait during the time of change by Van
Gogh. His colors are brightening, his beard very red, his shirt
very blue. The brush stokes, made in obsessive small dabs of
lines and dots are remarkable for the emotion and atmosphere
they create. The redness in the corners of his eyes show strain,
determination, and ill health. He looks to be older than his
age by the many lines that cross his brow and line his face. |
