The Odd Couple of Art History – Van Gogh & Gauguin ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

For a two-month period in 1888, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin shared a small yellow house located in the south of France. Known as the odd couple of art history, their time together is considered explosive, in temperament and yet more so in creativity. The images created by both men are astounding during this short-lived arrangement. And, it will end with the institutionalization of van Gogh resulting in a definitive break in van Gogh’s relationship with Gauguin. The study of this artistic liaison and their work begins with a date - October 23, 1888.
