Description
The Yellow House: A Turbulent Creative Outpouring
October to December 1888, a small French town in the south of France, was the setting for a remarkable nine-week period in the lives of two artistic giants, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. The two men lived together in a small house, sharing meals, conversations, and artistic pursuits. This was a time of intense creativity, but also of great turmoil, as the two artists struggled with their own demons and the pressures of their art.
This book, written by art critic Martin Gayford, is an intimate portrait of their time together, exploring the fragile friendship, artistic genius, and the shocking act of self-mutilation that Van Gogh committed during this period. Gayford's fascinating account is both moving and riveting, offering a deeply absorbing look at this pivotal moment in art history.
