Although Vincent van Gogh's and Paul Gauguin's artistic
collaboration in the South of France lasted no more than two
months, their stormy relationship has continued to fascinate art
historians, biographers and psychoanalysts as well as film makers
and the general public. Two great 19th century figures with
powerful and often clashing sensibilities, they shared a house,
worked side by side, drank, caroused and argued passionately about
art. Their brief venture together, richly documented in the
artists' letters and paintings, would be compelling enough even if
it had not culminated in the catastrophe of van Gogh's life - his
ear cutting. This traumatic climax to van Gogh's and Gauguin's
weeks spent in the "Yellow House" in Arles has raised profound
questions about the nature of their relationship and about their
behavior before and after van Gogh's self-mutilation."Van Gogh and
Gauguin" explores the artists' intertwined lives from a
psychoanalytic perspective in order to draw a nuanced and
sophisticated picture of the artists' dealings with each other. The
book also examines crucial art historical issues such as the
aesthetic convictions that both united and divided the two men, and
the extent to which they influenced each other's art.
