VAN GOGH PAINTING MADE DURING PSYCHOSIS CONFIRMED AS GENUINE    AFTER YEARS OF DOUBT
Today we are going to expose an article form the independent: 
A work by Van Gogh has been confirmed as genuine and the experts has said  was made during his mental illness or psychosis.
This painting called Self-Portrait ( 1889) was bought as the authentic painting by the Norway  National Museum ,but doubts has surrounded it’s truthful since 1970. Those doubts have now been dispelled away after the researchers found that it was indeed painted by Van Gogh after he was recovered in the Saint- Remy mental asylum, following nervous breakdown.
The painting is the only work that he was made while he had psychosis. 


The image is dominated by a dreary greenish-brown tone, and shows with a lifeless expression. The experts thinks that this is an incredible painting because of the feeling that Van Gogh had.
Van Gogh says later on somewhere that his paintings were sometimes a cry of anguish.He said that he painted this portrait to reconcile himself with what he saw in the mirror: a person he didn’t want to be. This is why for him, painting was a therapeutic and remarkable thing. It belongs to a small group of pictures that show something of his mental health problem and how he dealt with it, or tried to deal with it.
Actually the painting is on display at the Van Gogh Museum and is part of an exhibition.
