Most people believe that Van Gogh cut off a piece of his own ear,

Impressionists

used dabs of color to quickly paint their impressions of people, places, or things.

but it's more likely

that it was cut off in

a fight & the painter

was so embarrassed

that he told everyone

that he did it himself.

Whatever really hap-pened, the incident is remembered now as evidence of Van

Gogh's madness.

Post-Impressionists

pushed this idea even further by experi-

menting with optical blending and vibrant, expressive, and unrealistic colors.

His most famous painting,

Starry Night,

embodies these ideas.

Vincent Van Gogh only sold

one painting in his lifetime

Similarly, it is commonly

believed that Van Gogh shot himself,

was a Dutch painter who exemplifies

the myth of artists as tortured geniuses.

but, today, his paintings are worth millions

of dollars, and he is remembered as one

of the most influential artists in

modern history.

but forensic research suggests that Van Gogh

may have been shot accidentally & the artist

lied about what happened to protect

the young boy who did it.

Van Gogh struggled with an undiagnosed mental disorder.

He was a Post-Impressionist painter.

Doctors today believe that the artist may have had epilepsy. In his time though,

doctors couldn't help Van Gogh very

much. So, he believed that he

was going crazy.
