"We are artists, which is an excellent thing. We are married, also an excellent thing. We work together-not
necessarily an excellent thing. What do we mean by this? Clearly, it
isn't that we don't find inspiration in each other's work or ideas.
However, on a practical level, it is hard to avoid some problems. First
of all, though we have been together for twenty years, whenever we work
on a picture together, we spend most of our time arguing. Perhaps this
isn't all that surprising. Van Gogh and Gauguin tried to work together
in Arles. They stood side-by-side, produced some wonderful work,and
ultimately came to hate each other. Our task may even be harder. They
weren't married after all, and we don't want to end of hating each
other. Still, as we say, working together generally produces conflict
rather than peace.
