Van Gogh Influence - apologise, but
One of the stars of our episode is Vincent van Gogh, the infamous artist who actually began creating self-portraits because he needed additional practice. Because he was short on money and unable to find models, he chose the simplest solution: painting himself! So where can we find these portraits today? The short, choppy brushstrokes hover at different angles around his head, forming a halo-like effect that makes for a unique viewing experience. He holds a palette and paintbrushes behind his easel, meant to symbolise that he was a modern artist using a new painting style, with bright, almost unblended colours. While the museum is closed due to Covid 19 restrictions, or you can simply not travel, watch this great virtual alternative from home. A big thank you to the amazing team at the Van Gogh Museum. It really is a place not to be missed.Van Gogh Influence Video
