Vincent van Gogh - Van Gogh’s Chair, 1888, 92 x 73 cm. This work was painted while Van Gogh was working in the company of Gauguin at Arles. Van Gogh also painted a companion picture of Gauguin's armchair, now in the Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh in Amsterdam. He described his own painting as a picture of ‘a wooden rush-bottomed chair with a pipe and tobacco pouch’. Van Gogh’s Chair is a simple rustic seat of natural materials, seen by daylight in ‘Japanese perspective’ with sprouting bulbs behind it suggesting natural growth.
