In this Portuguese-language lecture, the speaker examines Vincent van Gogh's series of approximately 35 self‑portraits created between 1886 and 1889, situating them within the broader history of self‑portraiture that began with artists like Rembrandt. He explains how Van Gogh used mirrors as a meditative tool to translate his inner emotions onto canvas, positioning him as a precursor to Expressionism. The talk traces the stylistic evolution of the self‑portraits: the early 1886 work reflects academic, dark tones; the 1888 portraits show a strong Neo‑Impressionist influence after Van Gogh’s exposure to Parisian artists such as Cézanne, Toulouse‑Lautrec, Signac, and especially Paul Gauguin, leading to brighter palettes and hatching techniques; and the 1889 portraits reveal a more turbulent, folkloric style linked to the infamous ear‑cutting episode and the ensuing emotional turmoil. The speaker connects biographical events—particularly the 1888 conflict with Gauguin and the subsequent self‑mutilation—to visual elements like spiraling backgrounds and tormented expressions, arguing that Van Gogh’s self‑portraits function as autobiographical visual diaries that fuse color, brushwork, and composition to convey his psychological state.
