We often termes of opposite like "uggly"versus "beautifull". Beauty is perhaps in the eyes beholder but advertises ree faulse and real our symplistic-binasy-vision of the world to condition our way of thinkings things; We hand-up thinking in stereo-types. Should we not nuance our vision of things? Are people just "uggly" or "beautifull" our way of seeing others can be destructive for other... When looking at a portrait or some one self portrait go the on juging a person behind the apparence. Who they are is more important than what they look like?

Asks-yourself: What can I learned from a person apparence? How is his/her life/feelings "written" on his/her face?

Vincent Van Gogh.

This an autoportrait of Vincent Van Gogh. He was born in march 1853 à Groot-Zundert and he died in juily 1890 in Auvers-sur-Oise. He was a very famous painter and draftsman. We can't see on this autoportrait that's he haven't got his left ear.

I had choise this autoportrait because he is very strange like his painter's life.

me

That is the best representation of me. I always do ski in winter. This is my passion and my favourite activity. This sport is doing when it is very cold and in the nature. The environement is so extraordinair. This sport looks like me because my caractere is sometimes cold and when we do ski, we didn't need to speak, just to take advantage of this sensation of gliss.

Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Willem van Gogh was born from 30 March 1853 and died the 29 July 1890. He was a Dutch painter. Van Gogh spent his early adulthood working for a firm of art dealers and traveled between The Hague, London and Paris, after which he taught in England. During this time he began to sketch people from the local community, and in 1885 painted his first major work the potato eaters.. In March 1886, he moved to Paris and discovered the French impressionist.

This painting reprent Vincent Van Gogh. This painting is very strange: his glance looks very nasty and the background is very strange.
