The Yellow House

Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles

Beschreibung

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. It is an exploration of a fragile friendship, art, madness, genius behind a shocking act of self-mutilation that the world has sought to explain.
