“In watermelon sugar the deeds were done and done again as my life is done in watermelon sugar. I will tell you about it because I am here and you are distant.

Spinning like a ghost on the bottom of a top, I’m haunted by all the space that I will live without you.” —Richard Brautigan, In Watermelon Sugar

Andrea Torres Balaguer

Andrea Torres Balaguer (b. 1990) embodies distinct characters in her captivating self-portraits. These photographs could easily be mistaken for oil paintings, with their rich, jewel toned backgrounds and serene subjects posed in the centre of the composition. Most striking of all are the bold brush strokes that cover the faces, acting as masks that conceal the identity and expression of the person beneath.

Joseph Ducreux, a French artist renowned for his unconventional self-portraits, could never have foreseen the astonishing popularity his artwork would achieve in the 21st century as internet memes.

NOTE:

Joseph, Baron Ducreux (26 June 1735 – 24 July 1802) was a French noble, portrait painter, pastelist, miniaturist, and engraver, who was a successful portraitist at the court of Louis XVI of France.

He resumed his career at the conclusion of the French Revolution. He was made a baron and premier peintre de la reine (First Painter to the Queen).

He drew the last portrait ever made of Louis XVI before the king's execution.

"I am always doing what I cannot do yet in order to learn how to do it."

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade, he created approximately 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life.

Born: 30 March 1853, Zundert, Netherlands Died: 29 July 1890 (age 37 years), Auvers-sur-Oise, France

Vincent Willem van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime: Despite his immense talent and contribution to art, van Gogh struggled financially throughout his life and only managed to sell one painting, "The Red Vineyard," while he was alive.

He worked as an art dealer before becoming an artist: Prior to pursuing a career in art, van Gogh worked as an art dealer for the firm Goupil & Cie in The Hague, London, and Paris. This experience influenced his understanding of the art market but did not bring him personal success.

Van Gogh's artistic career spanned only about a decade: Despite his relatively short career, van Gogh produced an astonishing number of artworks, estimated at over 2,000 pieces, including paintings, drawings, and sketches.

He struggled with mental illness and spent time in psychiatric hospitals: Van Gogh's mental health issues plagued him throughout his life, and he experienced several breakdowns. In 1889, after a particularly severe episode where he mutilated his own ear, he voluntarily admitted himself to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where he continued to paint some of his most famous works.

The circumstances surrounding his death remain mysterious: Van Gogh's death in 1890 at the age of 37 was officially ruled a suicide, as he died from a gunshot wound to the chest. However, some theories suggest that he may have been accidentally shot by someone else or that he deliberately concealed the identity of his shooter to protect them. The true circumstances of his death continue to be debated among historians and scholars.
