Vincent van Gogh's "Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear": A Window into Artistic Genius, Isolation, and the Torment of Mental Illness

Van Gogh's Technique: Expressing Inner Turmoil Through Bold Brushstrokes and Color

In "Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear," van Gogh's distinctive brushwork takes center stage. Thick, swirling strokes convey the intensity of his emotions, while vibrant colors – greens, blues, and yellows – clash and harmonize, mirroring the turmoil within his soul.

Artistic Context: Post-Impressionism and the Search for Meaning

"Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear" stands as a testament to van Gogh's groundbreaking artistic vision. As part of the Post-Impressionist movement, he sought to transcend the boundaries of realism, using color and brushwork to convey emotions and ideas. This self-portrait captures the essence of his artistic philosophy, showcasing the raw power of expressionism.

Feelings Conveyed: Isolation, Despair, and the Yearning for Connection
