A Portraiture for Joseph Roulin
During his time in France, Van Gogh became good friends with Joseph Roulin, a postman in the town of
Arles. During his stay, Van Gogh made a number of portraits of Joseph and his family.
In essence with his own style, he avoided trying for a photographic recreation, and focused on creating vivid colours and aesthetic brush strokes to create his own style.
A Vibrancy In Life
This painting tries to stray from the accepted norm of photographic recreation that is usually present in portraiture. With this, Van Gogh incorporates his own unique style of vibrant colours and thick brush strokes so that the viewer can play with the image in their mind.
His ultimate aim was to evoke unique emotions with his viewers so that it wouldn’t be conceived as just another ordinary portrait.
Through his stay at
Arles, he captured the entire Roulin family through similar styles, multiple times. To him, the entire family were people who helped him through his struggle to continue his work as an artist. This was his method of thanks and appreciation during a time when he felt emotionally alone.
