November 1888. Paul Gauguin had been staying with Van Gogh at the Yellow House for just a few weeks, yet the two painters were already getting on each other’s nerves. Van Gogh painted two chairs: his own, a simple rush-seat chair with a pipe, and this one for his guest.
Gauguin’s chair is more refined, with curved arms and a palette of green and red. A lit candle and two novels rest on the seat. A gas lamp glows on the wall. Gauguin himself is nowhere to be seen, and that absence matters: the chair becomes a portrait of a friend, slightly grand and rather bookish.
A few weeks later, their quarrel brought the dream of an artists’ house in the south to an end. With this in mind, the painting takes on a different feel. It works beautifully in a study or library, whether in a London townhouse or a country home. A range of poster sizes is available.
