Paul Gauguin - Van Gogh Painting Sunflowers 1888. Paul Gauguin moved in with Van Gogh at the Yellow House in Arles in late
October 1888. Within a few weeks, however, their relationship began to sour. Gauguin wrote to Bernard: ‘In general, Vincent and I see
eye to eye on very little, especially on painting.’ One recurring argument was whether it was best to paint after nature or from the
imagination. Van Gogh mostly based himself on reality, while Gauguin composed many of his paintings from memory or his own
invention. This difference of artistic opinion is reflected in the portrait shown here. The depiction of Van Gogh with a vase of sunflowers
in front of him is imaginary. - art-Gauguin.com
