THE YELLOW HOUSE

I WATCHED A DOCUMENTARY/FILM ABOUT THE YEAR THAT VAN GOGH AND GAUGUIN LIVED TOGETHER IN 'THE YELLOW HOUSE' IN SELF IMPOSED EXCILE. WHILST THERE THEY PAINTED OVER FORTY OF THEIR GREATEST WORKS BUT AT THE SAME TIME DROVE EACH OTHER MAD (VAN GOGH CHOPPED HIS EAR OFF IN THE HOUSE AND COMMITTED SUICIDE 18 MONTHS LATER).





THESE ARE SOME OF VAN GOGHS PAINTINGS FROM THE TIME...I THINK IT IS INTERESTING HOW SIMILAR ALOT OF THE COLOURS ARE TO THE PAINTINGS FROM THE MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING. THEY ALSO HAVE QUITE A FREE AND EXPRESSIVE FEEL ABOUT THE WAY THE PAINT IS APPLIED TO THE CANVAS.
