Self-portrait with Grey Felt Hat by van Gogh
An 1887 oil on canvas painting, Self-portrait with Grey Felt Hat, by Vincent van Gogh (1853-90), the Dutch post-impressionist artist. Painted in September-October and showing the influence of the Pontillists Vincent had met in Paris. The use of brushstrokes and contrasting but complementary colours (blue and orange) are being experimented with for the first time and will become a dominant feature of his later work. (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam)
