Did Van Gogh exchange his artwork?
Vincent van Gogh not only exchanged his artwork for food and painting supplies, but he also exchanged art with other artists like Gauguin and Bernard.
"Gauguin has my portrait, and Bernard says that he’d like to have one like it, although he already has one of me, which I exchanged with him at the time for the portrait of his Grandmother.”
Emile Bernard most probably had Van Gogh’s "Self-portrait with a straw hat”.
