Color Study Emotion and Rhythm Artist Vincent Van Gogh


Color Study Emotion and Rhythm Artist Vincent Van Gogh

The use of ice-blue color set the serious tone for this self-portrait. The heavy-textured strokes of the facial features in unity with the textured swirls in the background created both rhythm and movement.  The stern look and the contrasting orange beard draw viewer directly into Vincent's eyes and soul, making a strong emotional statement.
