The Yellow House. Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles. Martin Gayford
575 руб
One small house. Two artistic giants. Paul Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh ate, drank, talked, argued, slept and painted in one of the most intense and astonishing creative outpourings in history. From October to December 1888 a pair of largely unknown artists lived under one roof in the French provincial town of Arles. The Yellow House is an intimate portrait of their time together as well as a subtle exploration of a fragile friendship, art, madness, genius and the shocking act of self-mutilation that the world has sought to explain ever since. Yet as the weeks passed Van Gogh buckled under the strain, fought with his companion and committed an act of violence on himself that prompted Gauguin to flee without saying goodbye to his friend. 2007
