The letter, written a week after Frenchman Gauguin joined Van Gogh at the Dutchman’s house in Arles, tells Bernard of their discussions on art and their work. “At the moment Gauguin has a canvas in progress of the same night café that I also painted, but with figures seen in the brothels. It promises to become a beautiful thing.”
“Their artistic dialogue was unstoppable in those days and was even continued in brothels and in this letter,” it said, adding that it “gives a visionary picture of their artistic cooperation and the future of modern art.”
