I used to like his stuff, but now that I know he might not have cut off his ear, not so much. I do have a brand new appreciation for Gauguin, though. I wonder if I can trade in some of my Van Goghs for Gauguins?bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357760578699371017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-53406416027336627512009-05-06T14:21:00.000-05:002009-05-06T14:21:00.000-05:00I agree for several reasons.

Gauguin left his fencing gear behind and took off like a shot.I think it was only the lobe, and that it was an accident, although probably a Freudian one. Not to mention a drunken one.Lots of Absinthe went down with those two. The local police kept the earlobe as evidence, which they wouldn't do if it was an accident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-91266857364840045572009-05-06T13:26:00.000-05:002009-05-06T13:26:00.000-05:00I've been following this story, too -- and truth t...I've been following this story, too -- and truth to tell, I can easily picture Gaugin doing this to his contentious painter pal. <br /><br />"You never fucking listen, Vincent!" SLASH (Gaugin holds severed ear to his own lips, shouting:) "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW, YOU IDIOT???" <br /><br />Can't you see it, as depicted in LUST FOR LIFE (Kirk Douglas as Van Gogh, Anthony Quinn as Gaugin) if it had been directed by -- oh, never mind. <br /><br />Then again, we're all so indoctrinated in the traditional view of these artists, as if encoded from our births, that we're forever sold on self-destructive, self-mutilating Van Gogh as an archetypal artist-type. The entrenched belief that artists' passions must spiral into self-destruction is a societal norm all cling to; it's much more romantic than the grim reality of, say, self-destructive dentists (check the stats someday).SRBissettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426874992235196378noreply@blogger.com
