Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
The real
reason Van Gogh sliced off his ear
Artists
are very sensitive and naïve. Also, many of them are vulnerable to fear of losing
things or people they adore. These often pressure them to unusual behaviors or
conducts, obsession or even suicide. Beethoven’s excessive love to his nephew,
Shuman’s suicide and Van Gogh’s ear slicing to name a few.
Why did
the great Dutch impressionist slice his own earlobe? Why the left not the right
one, or both? There have been a lot of questions and guesses about this mysterious
conduct that happened the night before Christmas Eve, about a year and half
before his death by suicide. Was that part of ending his own life?
Enjoy
reading this new guess work by an art expert about this long disputed mystery.
