Vincents chair and his smoking pipe (Vincents chair with a pipe) by Vincent Van Gogh

The painting “The Stool of Vincent with the Pipe” by Van Gogh was created in addition to the previously written “The Gauguin’s Armchair”. In 1888, Paul Gauguin visited him in Arles. They were friends, and these still lifes, Van Gogh wrote as a kind of personification of their characters.

The picture shows a chair on the floor of the room. But this is not just a detail of the interior. Looking at him, the viewer immediately begins to think about who owns the chair and why it is written in this way.

An old wicker seat that has lost its appearance over many years of use. Something like knotted legs, which, it would seem, are about to disband. The sensation of shakiness and instability is amplified by a planar image of the floor, which makes it almost vertical. Drawing a parquet, the artist seemed to forget about the perspective, and it seems that the chair is about to slide down. Old age and “fatigue” of the environment and objects are emphasized by a muted color scheme, dimly bluish contours of details.

On the seat, the artist painted a pipe, indicating that someone was sitting on the chair recently. Traces of the presence of man remained, but the person himself is not there. In one of the letters, Van Gogh described his condition, which caused parting with his father. Then the look of an empty chair, on which my father sat for half an hour, upset Vincent almost to tears. Exactly the same feeling of loneliness and devastation is present in this picture.
