	Vincent moves with gaugain to Arles. Vincent's paintings get a fierce, burnig, bright light. He get's fits of madness. In February 1888 Van Gogh went south to Arles, in Provence, where he at last began to feel a bit confident about his choice of career. He painted more than 200 canvasses in 15 months. During this time he sold no pictures, was in poverty and suffered recurrent nervous crisis with hallucinations and depression. He became enthusiastic for the idea of founding an artists' co-operative at Arles and rents a studio in Arles, the 'Yellow House' and towards the end of the year Gauguin joined him. On December 4, an argument ensued between them and Vincent unsuccessfully attacked Gauguin. It was during this argument that the famous incident where he cut off part of his left earlobe occurred. He wrapped the severed ear in paper and gave it to a prostitute he had befriended as a 'present'. Towards the end of the year, the first signs of his illness, a type of epilepsy that took the form of delusions rudely shattered his optimism and psychotic attacks. It was during one of these seizures that he cut off his left earlobe.
