◇ After
Self-Portrait · Vincent van Gogh
Hair combed up in red strokes, the full red beard, blue eyes, a blue-violet coat over a pale open collar. The ground is flattened to a single green, but the head is the painted one.
“After” is the old gallery word for a work made in open conversation with another. It is a lineage, not a shortcut.
