Van Gogh. Self-Portraits takes as its springboard Van Gogh鈥檚 iconic Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, one of the most celebrated works in The 91制片厂鈥檚 collection, and brings together around half of the self-portraits Van Gogh created during his short years as a painter.
This is the first time that the full span of Van Gogh鈥檚 self-portraiture has been explored in an exhibition. Several works in the exhibition were last together in Van Gogh鈥檚 studio and have never been reunited, until now.
An outstanding selection of 16 self-portraits have been brought together to trace the evolution of Van Gogh鈥檚 self representation, from his early Self-Portrait with a Dark Felt Hat, created in 1886 during his formative period in Paris, to聽Self-Portrait with a Palette, painted at the asylum in Saint-R茅my-de-Provence in September 1889, one of his last self-portraits before his death in 1890.
The myth of Van Gogh today is linked as much to his extraordinary life as it is to his stunning paintings. This exhibition allows both aspects to be explored.
