An archival premium Quality art Print of the 1889 Self Portrait of Paul Gauguin for sale at Brandywine General Store. This oil on wood by the French Impressionist artist Gauguin is now at the National Gallery of Art which gives the following description. This Self–Portrait, painted on a cupboard door from the dining room of an inn in the Breton hamlet Le Pouldu, is one of Gauguin's most important and radical paintings. His haloed head and disembodied right hand, a snake inserted between the fingers, float on amorphous zones of yellow and red. Elements of caricature add an ironic and aggressively ambivalent inflection to this painted assertion of Gauguin's artistic superiority and make him the sardonic hero of his new aesthetic system.
