Vincent van Gogh's Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat (1887) is a remarkable example of his artistic evolution during his Parisian period.

Features

• Subject and Composition: The painting portrays Van Gogh wearing a grey felt hat and a suit, presenting himself as a sophisticated urban figure. His direct gaze confronts the viewer, offering an intimate and introspective image.
• Brushwork: The background features short, directional brushstrokes in swirling patterns of blue and green. Around the head, these strokes radiate outward, creating a halo effect that emphasizes the face. The brushstrokes on the face are directional, following the contours to convey its structure and texture
• Color Palette: Van Gogh employed complementary colors to create vibrancy. The orange tones of his face contrast with the blue and green hues in the background, intensifying the overall visual impact. The red pigment in some areas has faded over time, altering the original contrasts.
• Neo-Impressionist Influence: While inspired by pointillism, Van Gogh adapted the technique uniquely. Instead of systematic dots, he used diverse brushstrokes tailored to each area of the canvas, reflecting his innovative approach.

Symbolism and Context

• Artistic Development: This self-portrait is a testament to Van Gogh's growth as an artist in Paris. It highlights his exploration of colour theory and texture under the influence of artists like Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.
• Identity: By depicting himself in formal attire with a felt hat, Van Gogh presents an image of himself as a cultured city dweller—a stark contrast to his earlier depictions as a rural laborer. This shift reflects his personal transformation during his Paris years.
