Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), the Dutch painter, is celebrated as a leading Post-Impressionist and a father of modern art, despite a career spanning less than a decade. Now, a second collection of BE@RBRICK figures, meticulously recreating his paintings through water printing, is set for release. These creations are produced under the supervision of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which houses a vast collection of his masterpieces.
Last December, the BE@RBRICK "Van Gogh Museum" Sunflowers, inspired by one of his most famous works, was launched to immense acclaim. Its fidelity was so impressive that even the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands gave its full endorsement. Now, as the second installment, BE@RBRICK figures of "Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat" will be released in 100% & 400% and 1000% sizes.
Van Gogh created nearly 40 self-portraits throughout his life. The one featured this time was painted in Paris between September and October 1887 (44.5 cm x 37.2 cm, housed at the Van Gogh Museum). Let's experience Van Gogh's dynamic brushwork, reflecting his exploration of various techniques, including pointillism, which was popular in Paris at the time, through this BE@RBRICK.
