It's no secret that Vincent Van Gogh was a man as gifted as he was unhappy.
Long-term attempts to socialize, to make close connections with people over and over again ended in failure. Engagement with the beloved was not allowed by the artist's parents. After that, he lived with a former prostitute and now his model. Having abandoned women, Van Gogh began to seek friendship, which he found in the person of Gauguin. But the fleeting connection between the two geniuses (and Van Gogh dreamed that they could live and create together, side by side) also ended in a breakup. Ordinary peasants, although they sometimes treated him favorably, could not share the torments and joys of creativity, discuss new books with the artist, etc.
In addition, you need to take into account the environment in which Van Gogh lived for many years. The artist spent the money sent by his only loyal friend, brother Theo, mainly on canvases, paints and a removable corner, often starving, putting him literally on the line beyond which outright beggary begins. It could not but affect the fact that the artist's paintings remained unclaimed until his death.
All this could not but affect the artist's mental health, which was already not strong. After a quarrel with Gauguin under hitherto unknown circumstances, Van Gogh injured himself, after which he ended up in a psychiatric hospital.
About these and many other misadventures, but no less about the joys of creativity and deep revelations drawn from the artist's observations and reflections can be found in his letters to his brother Theo and to friends. Anyone interested in the figure of Van Gogh, I strongly recommend it.
Some biographers, such as Perruchot, claim that after cutting off an ear, Van Gogh sent it deliberately to his favorite prostitute. It was as if she had often told him, during their “cooing” sessions, that his ears were very beautiful… (otherwise, contemporaries admit that he was very far from handsome ) . The version is quite different… but why not?! Apparently, it was in his nature….
There is such a terrible state of the human psyche that is called melancholic raptus. Apparently, Vincent Willem Van Gogh cut off part of his ear during a melancholy raptus attack.
The severed ear is one of the most famous episodes from the artist's biography, and the most controversial. We know the following: after a quarrel with Gauguin, Van Gogh went home and cut off his ear. On the basis of what disagreements the quarrel occurred is not exactly known. Friends argued a lot about art, their everyday life, and Van Gogh's state of mind, which worried Gauguin. In addition, Gauguin announced his intention to leave. Plus, of course, there was absinthe regularly. So Van Gogh cut off his earlobe, wrapped it in a newspaper, and took it to a prostitute he knew.
a creative and talented person, but not in demand and not understood by time, who meets with complete misunderstanding around him (with rare exceptions). +the vulnerability inherent in such people (they say that he did this after a quarrel with his friend Gauguin). +alcohol
To prove the asymmetry and imperfection of the world.He had a period of depression, a sea of absinthe and a lack of recognition of his talents. Although what is there to admire. Creativity of a psychotic person.

Most likely, according to many conjectures and theories, Van Gogh cut off his earlobe because of a quarrel with his friend (which is not very likely, since Van Gogh was a quiet and peaceful person).
According to another theory, his friend cut off his earlobe while swinging a sword.
Van Gogh cut off his ear because he was suffering from psychological problems.
Van Gogh was a famous man who had many fans and enemies.
There is another version of what happened, that Gauguin cut off the earlobe, swinging a sword.
Van Gogh, as proven by modern art historians and scientists, never cut his ear. This bike has been around the world since the beginning of the 20th century, when Vincent became super popular. He didn'T break his ears or anything else. The bandaged ear appeared in the self-portrait after Vincent quarreled with Gauguin, and he urgently reeled in fishing rods from Arles in 1894. Van Gogh was a very peaceful man, not a hot-tempered one. But his friend Paul Gauguin had previously been charged for waving a knife. Vincent was just protecting a former friend he'd worked with a lot in Arles. Everything else is fairy tales.
