The Changing Face of Vincent Van Gogh

Now, in Paris, van Gogh was coming under the influence of the Impressionists, as well as right here he was exploring with ways of making use of light; the right-hand side of his face is strongly brightened, while the other side is in deep shadow, provided by the musician in tones of pink and green.In this very first space of the program, we see van Gogh’s combination getting lighter and lighter. One of the last paints van Gogh made prior to giving up Paris was this enthusiastic job, revealing himself at an easel. Quite a painful picture.
