Painted in December 1888 during the fraught final weeks of Paul Gauguin’s stay at the Yellow House in Arles, Paul Gauguin’s Armchair serves as a poignant symbolic portrait of Van Gogh’s absent friend and rival. Designed as a companion piece to Van Gogh’s own austere, brightly sunlit wooden chair, this nocturnal composition features an ornate armchair rendered in deep reds and greens, resting on a geometric carpet. The lit candle and two modern novels on the seat symbolize Gauguin’s intellectual presence and creative fire, set against the brooding mood of their departing partnership.
