One of the featured artworks is Vincent van Gogh's iconic Self-Portrait from 1889. Throughout his artistic career, van Gogh, like many other artists, frequently used himself as a model, resulting in over 43 self-portraits. These self-portraits often served as a means for van Gogh to critically examine himself, revealing significant psychological moments from his life.

The Self-Portrait in question was created in 1889 during van Gogh's time at an asylum in Saint-Remy. The arabesque figures in the background, along with the vibrant aquamarine color, are believed to reflect van Gogh's mental state during his internment at the psychiatric facility. The static posture of the artist contrasts with the dynamic and absinthe-like color of the arabesque background.

In this head-and-shoulders view, van Gogh is depicted wearing a suit instead of his usual pea jacket worn during his artistic endeavors. The focal point of the painting is his face, which exhibits a hardened and emaciated appearance. His green-rimmed eyes convey a sense of determination and anxiety.

With Musart on Decks, we are delighted to present this exclusive Vincent van Gogh Skateboard Single Deck collection, allowing art enthusiasts and skateboarders alike to appreciate and engage with the profound artistic expression captured in van Gogh's self-portrait.
