self portraits

Bandaged Ear- Vincent Van Gogh(Dutch)-1889

First thoughts- I not ice he uses many different shades of green which is a very cool affect and the shade on his clothes is also very cool. His face and clothes all make him look like its very chilly. His face his very pale and stiff. When i first saw the bandage i thought it was for covering his ears in cold weather.

The Real Story- This is a painting when Vincent moved to Arles where he began to make some of his most beloved artwork and this portrait really kicked of his creative period.
