Café Van Gogh has gained worldwide fame ever since the brilliant artist immortalized it on one of his canvases. Address: Place du Forum, 11
It should be noted that if the Parisian period was for Van Gogh a time of extensive experiments, then in Arles they ended with a concentrated concentration of forces; here is his finest hour. The artist came to the south with a thirst for renewal - and was not deceived. “In the south, all our senses are sharpened, the hand becomes more mobile, the eye is sharper, the brain is more perceptive. ” Vincent talks about the bliss and bliss that spilled into the atmosphere of Provence, about the poetry of the land of blooming roses and the hot sun, which once knew the cult of Venus and inspired the poets and artists of the Renaissance. Everything romantic that was in Van Gogh's nature responded to the call of the south. "Around, wherever you cast a glance, everything asks for a picture ...I am consumed by a continuous thirst for work. "
The inhabitants of the city were struck by the extravagant appearance of Van Gogh, a colorful description of which was left by the artist's personal doctor, Felix Rey. “He wore a coat all the time, more like a hoodie, and all stained with paint. After all, he usually drew with his thumb, wiping it on a cloth. In addition, he - like a shepherd - wore a straw hat with huge brim, protecting him from the sun.
Paul Gauguin was the first to receive an invitation to come to Arles, whom Van Gogh already in the summer of 1888 began literally flooding with letters, persistently urging him to stay in his Arles home. At the end of October, Paul Gauguin, responding to the calls of a friend, arrived in Arles, after which, as planned, he settled in Van Gogh's apartment. But, alas, Arles completely disappointed Gauguin, he did not find anything remarkable in him. There is a major quarrel between the artists, which ends with the notorious story of the cut off ear.
