Never before or since have two suchtowering artists occupied so small a space. They were the Odd Couple of arthistory--one calm, the other volatile--and the denouement of their livingarrangement was explosive. Two months after Gauguin arrived in Provence,Van Gogh suffered a psychological crisis that culminated in his cutting offpart of an ear. He was institutionalized for most of the rest of his shortlife and never saw Gauguin again. During the brief, exhilarating period they worked together in Arles, thesenot-yet-famous artists created a stream of masterpieces within the sharedstudio--including Van Gogh's Sunflowers, which decorated Gauguin's bedroomwall. Making use of Van Gogh's voluminous correspondence and new evidence,Martin Gayford describes not only how these two hallowed artists paintedand exchanged ideas, but also the texture of their everyday lives. He tellsus what they cooked and how they budgeted their meager finances andentertained themselves, and he movingly relays their inner fears anddreams. Gayford also makes a persuasive analysis of Van Gogh's mentalillness--the probable bipolar affliction that led him to commit suicide atthe age of 37. THE YELLOW HOUSE is a singular biographical work as dramaticand vibrant as the artists' pictures. 1055463 29 3 2007 The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles total:1|3:1| 1 3 4 0 1068796 0141016736 9780141016733 1 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180717024m/1068796.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1068796.The_Yellow_House_Van_Gogh_Gauguin_and_Nine_Turbulent_Weeks_in_Arles 0 0 false Fri Nov 27 19:40:50 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 27 19:40:50 -0800 2009 1068796 0141016736 9780141016733 1 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180717024m/1068796.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1068796.The_Yellow_House_Van_Gogh_Gauguin_and_Nine_Turbulent_Weeks_in_Arles 0 0 false Wed Nov 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 05:31:03 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 05:31:21 -0800 2009 1068796 0141016736 9780141016733 1 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180717024m/1068796.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1068796.The_Yellow_House_Van_Gogh_Gauguin_and_Nine_Turbulent_Weeks_in_Arles 0 0 false Sat Jul 05 18:32:43 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 18:32:43 -0700 2008 1068796 0141016736 9780141016733 1 0 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180717024m/1068796.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1068796.The_Yellow_House_Van_Gogh_Gauguin_and_Nine_Turbulent_Weeks_in_Arles 3 0 false Thu May 22 05:20:53 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 08:26:27 -0700 2008 Thu May 22 05:20:53 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1068796
