Van Gogh's Techniques: Expressionism and Emotional Intensity
In "Self-Portrait (1887)," van Gogh employs vibrant, swirling brushstrokes that evoke a sense of inner turmoil and emotional intensity.

The exaggerated features and intense gaze draw viewers into the artist's troubled psyche.
Beyond the Image: Symbolism and Meaning
The self-portrait serves as a window into van Gogh's mental state. The bandaged ear, a result of his famous self-mutilation incident, symbolizes both his physical and emotional pain. The piercing blue eyes convey a mix of vulnerability and determination, hinting at his ongoing struggle with mental illness.
