The other thing I learn from this is that the names of the paintings are often not from the artist, but are added later.Van Gogh self-portrait actually not Van Gogh - Page 2

To the usual dude it doesn't. But if you take this as a cultural text that it really is, it means a lot. Note that this is part of an exhibit called Van Gogh: New Perspectives. Sometimes there is more to art, especially those that we have seen so much that we already take for granted. | ||

I can't stop laughing. Omg White-Ra, you really are everywhere. Obviously if it's him then it couldn't be Van Gogh's self portrait, unless of course... White-Ra IS Van Gogh. O_O | ||

I mean, if he wanted both himself AND his brother, he could have painted his face and his brother's face on one head, similar to how Voldemort appeared in the first Harry Potter movie :d Uh, he was an impressionist... it's quite reasonable his picture could be both of them at once. | ||

Though I think he just changed his portrait.. its not that uncommon...I might run this by some of my Art professors but in my opinion its still his painting & self portrait. | ||

And I'm guessing you're a painter yourself to know that. /sarcasm I can understand not liking his stuff, but to say he's bad at painting? No, he's a master. Making a painting like his is very, very difficult, and only an extremely skilled craftsman can pull off an impressionistic portrait like that. Each stroke has wonderful color temperature, placement, and color value. That's something very very few artists can pull off, he's sooooo far from bad. | ||
