VAN GOGH SELF PORTRAITS (PAUL HOLBERTON)

This publication accompanies the first ever exhibition devoted to Vincent van Gogh's self-portraits across his entire career. The exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery and accompanying catalogue feature world-famous and lesser-known works from the great artist. The myth of Van Gogh today is linked as much to his extraordinary life as it is to his stunning paintings. This book reconsiders this aspect of his production and places the artist's self-representation in context to reveal the role it plays in his oeuvre. This beautifully illustrated catalogue includes detailed entries on each work, an appendix illustrating all of Van Gogh's self-portraits and three insightful essays on the theme.
