Self-Portrait, Van Gogh Pillow
$59.97 - $119.97
This custom designed magnet features an image of Vincent van Gogh's Self-Portrait, 1887. For want of a better model," Van Gogh chose to paint his own portrait on many occasions. While in Paris between 1886 and 1888, Van Gogh lightened his palette under the influence of the brilliant colors of the impressionists, but he soon reserved the use of such light colors to express particular moods. Van Gogh's stay in Paris was a relatively happy one, and in this painting, created during the summer of 1887, he portrays himself with an almost light-hearted appearance.
The original oil painting, a highlight for many visitors to the Detroit Institute of Arts, is the first Van Gogh painting to enter a U.S. museum collection.
This magnet lets you add a wonderful splash of color to any refrigerator, magnetic board, desk, or locker.
Measures 3 1/8 x 2 1/8 in.
