About the piece
Created during his influential years in Brittany, this self-portrait captures Paul Gauguin in a moment of artistic synthesis. He positions himself between two of his own significant creations: the iconic 'Yellow Christ' and a distorted ceramic self-portrait jar. The work is a masterclass in the Synthetist style, utilizing flat planes of bold color and strong outlines to evoke a sense of spiritual and creative intensity.
