"Van Gogh & Gauguin"
2002-02-09 until 2002-06-02
Van Gogh Museum
Amsterdam, , NL

The story of Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin - their admiration for each other's work, their friendship and rivalry and their brief period of collaboration in Arles in 1888 - is one of the most dramatic in the history of modern art. Everyone still remembers how Van Gogh cut a piece off his ear after a fierce quarrel with Gauguin. Their stormy lives forever established the image of the possessed artist, who gives up everything for the sake of his work. Each in his own way was a founder of modern art.

The tale of the two artists who lived and worked together and fought each other is well known, but has never been told in the form of an exhibition.

The exhibition looks in detail at the relationship between Van Gogh and Gauguin in the context of their lives and work. From the moment they met in Paris through Theo van Gogh, similarities in the style and subject matter of their paintings quickly became evident.
