The men lived and worked together in Arles during the autumn months of 1888. Some may be familiar with this time period, due to the retelling of the story of van Gogh cutting off part of his earlobe to spite Gauguin. Silverman goes beyond this volatile moment, as she takes the reader on an investigation of the creative collaboration between the two. In her investigation of both artists' methods, their reasons for creating and their place in modernism, Silverman uncovers a mountain of evidence, long hidden by a foggy, folkloric haze. An absolutely brilliant book.
