2023年7月30日星期天早上,我带着家人和朋友,去大都会博物馆旅游。看完了《梵高的柏树》特展,
从一楼慢慢走到二楼,
去看不是“特展”的另外15件“永久收藏”的梵高作品。
此时已经过了上午10点,公众开始进入展厅
走到里面的825展厅
在梵高1887年的自画像前
一位美国大叔单膝跪地
看着梵高,
看着梵高作品的说明
Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat (obverse: The Potato Peeler)
Vincent van Gogh Dutch
1887
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 825
Van Gogh produced more than twenty self-portraits during his Parisian sojourn (1886–88). Short of funds but determined nevertheless to hone his skills as a figure painter, he became his own best sitter: "I purposely bought a good enough mirror to work from myself, for want of a model." This picture, which shows the artist's awareness of Neo-Impressionist technique and color theory, is one of several that are painted on the reverse of an earlier peasant study.

梵高自画像的背后,
同一件画布的另一面,
是他的另一件作品

创作于1885年
两年前的旧作
反过来在另一面继续画!
风格已经完全不同。
The Potato Peeler (reverse: Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat)
Vincent van Gogh Dutch
1885
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 825
This painting from February/March 1885, with its restricted palette of dark tones, coarse facture, and blocky drawing, is typical of the works Van Gogh painted in Nuenen the year before he left Holland for France. His peasant studies of 1885 culminated in his first important painting, The Potato Eaters (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam).
