Extrait du document
This is one of Van Gogh's most extraordinary portraits, because it almost looks like a regression to an amateur style. However, the one big difference is the astounding range of colour, which previously had not been seen so clearly in his Paris work. It is almost as if this is a composition of primary colours, with the drawing merely a peg on which to hang them. It is likely that it is at this point Van Gogh threw away the Impressionists' system of colour analysis in order to paint with strong colours, in the raw.
