"Wonderfully perceptive. Revealing and touching ...the narrative shifts subtly from art history to psychological thriller. It is a sad, sad story" - "Sunday Telegraph". "Masterly ...a wonderfully alert and moving portrait" - "Mail on Sunday". "Profoundly absorbing. Gayford has reconstructed these tumultuous weeks ...the reader lives them day by day, almost minute by minute. Delightful, utterly fascinating" - "Independent on Sunday". Two artistic giants, one small house. From October to December 1888, a pair of largely unknown artists lived under one roof in the French provincial town of Arles. Paul Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh ate, drank, talked, argued, slept and painted in one of the most intense and astonishing creative outpourings in history. Yet, as the weeks passed, Van Gogh buckled under the strain, fought with his companion and committed an act of violence on himself that prompted Gauguin to flee without saying goodbye to his friend. "The Yellow House" is an intimate portrait of their time together as well as a subtle exploration of a fragile friendship, art, madness, genius and the shocking act of self-mutilation that the world has sought to explain ever since.
