The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles is art critic Martin Gayford's account of the tumultuous nine weeks in which the famous nineteenth century artists Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin shared a house in the small French town of Arles.
Two artistic giants. One small house.
From October to December 1888 a pair of at the time largely unknown artists lived under one roof in the French provincial town of Arles. 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. Yet as the weeks passed Van Gogh buckles 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.
The Yellow House is an intimate portrait of their time together as well as a subtle exploration of a fragile friendship, art, madness, genius behind a shocking act of self-mutilation that the world has sought to explain ever since.

In October he was joined by Paul Gauguin, and for eight weeks they worked together in this tiny, claustrophobic space. It was one of the most productive periods for both painters - during it Van Gogh painted most of the Sunflowers, twin pictures of Gauguin and his chairs, and the Sowers. Yet at what cost was this fever of creative endeavour achieved? At the end of their two months together Vincent went mad and cut off his ear. In this riveting book, Telegraph art critic Martin Gayford provides an insight into the French provincial and bohemian life of the times, as well as into the creation of some of the most popular paintings ever. An account of the tumultuous nine weeks in which the famous nineteenth century artists Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin shared a house in the small French town of Arles.
