GOGH, Vincent van: Self-Portrait with a Japanese Print

🖼 Self-Portrait with a Japanese Print, December 1887, Paris
Oil on canvas
44 × 35 cm
Basel, Switzerland

Intense gaze meets flattened perspective as van Gogh's face emerges against Japanese woodblock prints, rendered in bold complementary colors and swirling brushwork. The composition reveals his passionate engagement with Japanese aesthetics, which revolutionized his artistic vision and became central to Post-Impressionist modernism.
