Paul Gauguin - Self Portrait with the Yellow Christ 1890 Painted on the eve of Gauguin's first trip to Tahiti,
Portrait of the Artist with the Yellow Christ is a veritable manifesto. In fact it is a triple portrait, in which the artist
reveals different facets of his personality. Little known at the time, misunderstood, and abandoned by his wife
who had gone back to Denmark with their children, Gauguin was having trouble obtaining an official mission to
settle in the colonies. - art-Gauguin.com
