Focus on Self-Portrait with the Yellow Christ and explore the abstract.
Self-Portrait with the Yellow Christ is an 1890 or 1891 painting by Paul Gauguin, produced in Pont-Aven in Brittany and now in the musée d'Orsay in Paris, to which it was assigned after its purchase by the French state in 1994 with financial assistance from Philippe Meyer and a Japanese patron.The artist shows himself between two of his own artworks, The Yellow Christ (1889) and a grotesque ceramic self-portrait – he often used Christ as a symbol for himself and thus the work fulfilled his desire to create a triple self-portrait.
