Self-Portrait
Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin’s Self-Portrait (1889) is more than just a picture of what he looks like — it’s a painting full of symbols. In the artwork, Gauguin includes a halo above his head, which makes him look almost like a saint, but he also places a snake and apples nearby, referencing the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. These symbols suggest ideas about temptation, knowledge, good and evil, and maybe even rebellion. Gauguin’s face looks serious and thoughtful, and the flattened shapes and simplified forms show that he cared more about expressing ideas than making the image look perfectly real.
