Caption

Self-portrait, 1887. After he heard his brother Theo describe the new colourful style of French art, Vincent decided in 1886 to move to Paris. He soon began experimenting with the new idiom in a series of self portraits. This was mainly to spare the expense of using models. Here he painted himself as a debonnaire Parisian, with loose, regular brushstrokes in striking colours.
