Talk:Self-Portrait with Halo and Snake

Disambiguation
Due to the 40+ of self-portraits by the artist and the many different titles, some within the same year, I have disambiguated the title by the most common name for this work in the literature per our policy on article titles. I should note that I do not follow nor do I recognize the absolutely ridiculous MOS guideline that recommends disambiguating paintings by location, nor will I ever follow it in the future. Our policy on article titles takes precedence over an obscure, nonsensical guideline that serves no useful purpose, evidently written by someone who has invented a guideline that is neither reflected by art literature (nobody disambiguates paintings by location anywhere) nor by any semblance of common sense. Note, the institution that holds this work refers to it only as "Self-Portrait", but the literature does not. Further, I have run across an obscure source that indicates in passing that Gauguin exhibited this work by several different titles, but I have not yet been able to track down the correct information, as it may appear in an obscure French language source, such as a letter or interview.

 * Update: the French language source supporting multiple titles is Malingue, Maurice (July-August 1959). "Du nouveau sur Gauguin." L'Oeil, pp. 35, 38. As cited by Sandra Bertman in Litmed. Viriditas (talk) 09:21, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Per the above link to Litmed, the current title of this article may have been used by Gauguin himself (Portrait a l'aureole et au serpent). Viriditas (talk) 02:36, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
