Story Feature

The Post-Impressionists: Van Gogh & Gauguin

In October 1888, two struggling artists joined forces in a tiny yellow house in the South of France. This is the story of the tense friendship between Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and their "Studio of the South." Though it lasted only 9 weeks and revealed their radically different approaches to painting, their short collaboration proved critical to the development of each artist's work, identity, and destiny, and produced works that helped set the stage for much of modern art.

Biography

Salvador Dali

After having his first art exhibition at age 13, Salvador Dali rose to become one of the world's most well-known and controversial artists. Putting himself into hallucinatory states without drugs, Dali created the works that made him a master of Cubism and brought him to the top of the Surrealist movement. After breaking with the movement in the 1930s, Dali worked in fashion, film, and theater, collaborating at times with Harpo Marx, Alfred Hitchcock, and Walt Disney.
