Van Gogh knew that Japanese printmakers often exchanged their work with one another. The idea appealed to him and he suggested that Gauguin and Emile Bernard do the same. His friends followed suit and created self-portraits, each including the other’s likeness in the background.
Gauguin painted himself as Jean Valjean, the main character of Victor Hugo’s novel Les Misérables. He drew parallels between this fictional socially outcast hero and the misunderstood artists of his own time: ‘By doing him with my features, you have my individual image, as well as a portrait of us all, poor victims of society,’ he wrote to Van Gogh.
