Abstract

In each of his more than 40 self-portraits, Vincent van Gogh confirms the continuous need for exploring aspects of his own identity.  Every time he looked at his countenance, he made an effort to understand himself better.  Vincent lived an artistic and existential extreme. His work never fitted in one single artistic movement.  His absolutely unique style changed according to his unstable state of mind.  He intensely inspired himself in his own image.  Through it, he represented a fragmented world while looking for a frame for his inner contents, and for psychical integration. This essay intends to reflect on the individuation process of Vincent through his self-portraits and letters, particularly the ones he exchanged with his brother Theo.
