ART HISTORY An X-Ray Reveals What May Have Been Van Gogh’s First-Ever Self-Portrait The conservators at the National Galleries of Scotland were in for a surprise as they began their cataloging process for the Peasant Woman, painted by the world-famous Van Gogh. Conservators found a self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh underneath the oil painting of The Peasant Woman during a routine X-Ray test. Art scholars have only far been aware of his self-portraits as old as 1886, when he moved to Paris and discovered Impressionism. The Peasant Woman was painted in 1885, which indicates the X-ray findings point to an earlier composition of a self-portrait by Van Gogh. The Peasant Woman was composed above the unfinished self-portrait, which reminds us of Van Gogh’s financial struggle as a starved artist. Analyzing the art further, it appears to be part of a group of five other self-depictions, part of the collection of the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands that he would go on to compose. Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch-born artist credited with the unique brush style he developed as he moved to Paris. The choice of clear brush marks is due to his impressionistic influence in his approach to art, which aptly complements his raw and emotional theme of works. This finding has a certain beauty to it, as this helps us realize more about the type of life the artist would have led in the late 19th century. The artist is often referred to as an excellent artist in the realistic genre and is wellremembered for how Impressionism influenced his works, such as how the bold usage of colors and quick brush strokes portrayed an image of conflicting emotions and the dynamic movement of the environment on this canvas. For instance, The Potato Eaters, 1885, and The Starry Night, 1889, though there are many more. Vincent Van Gogh was an experimental, innovative, and fearless artist and is one of the most famous artists that the world has ever known. His artistic genius also granted him the title of a mad artist or a troubled genius as society grabbed at anything to make sense of his unique style that was alien to the then-existing artist styles of Europe. Today, the modern world appreciates Van Gogh, for it captures real-life scenes, emotions, and mythological themes with dark and solemn colors. His works belonged to different artistic approaches, running from Impressionism to Pointillism to Expressionism. Now, with Van Gogh’s immense contribution to French Impressionism and his unique style that led to art that spoke volumes through brushwork, it becomes vital to understand his style before his visit to Paris. Conservators must now delicately separate the adhesive and cardboard to retrieve the hidden self-portrait behind the Peasant Woman. Vincent Van Gogh was unknown during his lifetime. Today, he is regarded as one of the world’s most famous and loved artists for his genius. This discovery adds another dimension to the artist's life, who was ahead of his time. - feature@magzoid.com 52 August 2022 www.magzoid.com
SPECIAL DAYS World Photography Day The yearly celebration of the art, craft, science, and history of photography is known as World Photography Day. This year’s World Photography Day will occur on August 19, 2022, on a Friday. On August 19, 2010, the first World Photography Day was celebrated. On this day, approximately 270 photographers uploaded their images to an international web collection. The online gallery was seen by visitors from more than 100 nations. The first-ever World Photography Day was commemorated on this occasion. The day is celebrated on August 19th since that was the day in 1839 when the French government bought the patent for the Daguerreotype method. The Daguerreotype method was introduced, and the French government referred to it as a free gift to the world. The earliest known instance of photography is from 1839. The Daguerreotype procedure was then announced by the French Academy of Sciences. The procedure allowed for the creation of an extremely detailed image on a copper sheet. The procedure did not involve the use of a negative and involved coating the sheet with a thin layer of silver. It became the first technique for making a camera image permanent. World Photography Day 2022 will have the subject "Pandemic lockdown through the lens." However, individuals are urged to take Selfies and post them to social media accounts with the hashtag "World Photography Day." - editor@magzoid.com www.magzoid.com August 2022 53
