Munch.

he was dismissed after a few months by his

proved too much, Van Gogh left Paris and went to Arles, Room
Bouches-du-Rh, France. He was impressed with the local at Arles
landscape and hoped to found an art colony. He
decorated a "yellow house" and created a celebrated
series of yellow sunflower paintings for this purpose.
