The Yellow House by Martin Gayford
From October to December of 1888, Paul Gauguin shared a yellow house in the south of France with Vincent van Gogh. They were the odd couple of the art world -- one calm, the other volatile -- and the denouement of their living arrangement was explosive. Making use of new evidence and Van Gogh's voluminous correspondence, Martin Gayford describes not only how these two hallowed artists painted and exchanged ideas, but also the texture of their everyday lives. Gayford also makes a persuasive analysis of Van Gogh's mental illness -- the probable bipolar affliction that led him to commit suicide at the age of thirty-seven. The Yellow House is a singular biographical work, as dramatic and vibrant as the work of these brilliant artists.
The Spectator's art critic is Martin Gayford. Modernists and Mavericks, Man with a Blue Scarf, A Larger Message, Rendez-vous with Art (with Philippe de Montebello), A History of Images (with David Hockney), and The Pursuit of Art are only a few of his books.
