ABOUT SELF-PORTRAIT WITH GREY FELT HAT 1887
“But what I hope to achieve is to paint a good portrait.”
Van Gogh often used himself as a model for practicing figure painting. His Paris self-portraits serve as a useful record of his painterly experiments. This is one of them, here Van Gogh applied the technique of the Pointillists in his own, original way. He placed the short stripes of paint in different directions. Where they follow the outline of his head, they form a kind of halo.
