Vincent van Gogh paintings by Arles 1888-1889

Van Gogh moved to Arles, hoping for refuge at a time when he was ill from drink and suffering from smoker's cough. He seems to have moved to the town with thoughts of founding a utopian art colony. He arrived on 21 February 1888 and took a room at the Hôtel-Restaurant Carrel, which he had idealistically expected to look like one of Hokusai (1760–1849) or Utamaro's (1753–1806) prints. On 1 May, he signed a lease for 15 francs per month in the eastern wing of the Yellow House at No. 2 Place Lamartine. Although the Yellow House had to be furnished before he could fully move in, Van Gogh was able to utilize it as a studio. When Gauguin agreed to visit Arles, Van Gogh hoped for friendship and for his utopian idea of a collective of artists. In anticipation, that August he painted sunflowers.
