Even before I knew anything about Granddad Les, Wally and me sometimes dared each other to see how close to the knackery we could get.

This was, without doubt, the most celebrated cohabitation in art history: never, before or since have two such towering artistic talents been penned up in so small a space. They were the Odd Couple of art history. Predictably, the results were explosive. The dénouement of their life together has entered into folklore. Two months after Gauguin arrived in Arles,...
