Cézanne's art was little known to the pubic, but fellow painters such as Paul Gauguin were fascinated by his example and also experimented with new formal techniques and subjects in isolated places such as Brittany and even Tahiti.
In 1888, Gauguin traveled to Arles to work with the Dutch artist, Vincent van Gogh. The latter painted his 'Sunflowers' to welcome Gauguin, although the two painters fell out during his stay. Success eluded all three artists during their own lifetimes, yet their combined innovations fundamentally affected the course of 20th-century art.
