Vincent Van Gogh, De Stoel Van Gauguin

Vincent Van Gogh, De Stoel Van Gauguin

Vincent Van Gogh’s 'De stoel van Gauguin' or 'Gauguin's Chair', is a striking piece that narrates the complex relationship between himself and fellow artist, Paul Gauguin. Crafted in 1888 during their cohabitation at Arles, this work demonstrates post-impressionistic elements combined with his unique sketchy technique.
As opposed to using oil paints which was quite prevalent during the era, Van Gogh created this artwork with graphite on paper. The drawing features primarily tonal shades of black and white displaying Guaguin's vacant chair against an unpretentious backdrop.
The choice of colors creates stark contrast bringing into focus not just physical attributes but also conveys deeper meaning. Symbolic hints like burning candle suggest absence whereas books depict intellectual endeavors: thus representing facets of Gaugin's personality.

It is also pertinent to note that ‘De stoel van Gauguinh’ holds immense sentimental value for it represents times preceding their bitter estrangement
Also available are canvas prints, posters along with possibility of recreating this masterpiece as an oil painting reproduction alongwith high-resolution images accessible for purchase from selective platforms.
