What part of his body did Van Gogh cut off?
Correct answer: Ear
Tanehowl
Its very sad that he had a sad and awful life. Didn't get recognition til after his death, so he died insane and depressed.

He didn't cut his whole ear off, only a piece of it.

If he was born in the era of mental health understanding, Van Gogh could have maybe actually enjoyed the success from his genius artwork. Instead he suffers, makes the world of Art a better place, and someone else gains from his hard work?? Plus also the life story just jacks up the price after death. The human race can be very heartless sometimes. He probably cut his ear off because the poor man would have been hearing voices.

Proofreaders, again! "Temperatures flared" w Gaughin, or tempers. Poorly written

Remember to treat everybody nice because you never know what issues they'll had to suffer

Tanehowl, I agree. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to only get recognition for your amazing art --- after your death. He lived such a depressing life and was full of misery. I wish he could have gotten the fame he deserved while alive.

in an episode of doctor who, the doctor takes him forward in time to the Louvre,where Vincent is amazed to see his paintings adorn the walls and he can see he was loved eventually, one of the best episodes,quite touching.

AppleA815, poorly written because the game was created by non English speaking people. English is not their native language.

I truly pity him for how he suffered, but I hope the great art work that sprang from it

it's so sad that when he died that's when they realise how good his work actually was and still is

He cut off his earlobe, not the entire ear.
JJ
great artist despite all his problems. Mental illness was not dealt with as seriously as it is today
Player #137846770
He only sold one painting while he was alive.

Player van Bowie , my daughter's favoyrite episode. she is an artist and has mebtal health issues as well....and is also a redhead!!

He only cut off a piece of his ear. Also, oil paints can be very toxic. Lead was commonly used to create a bright white (in paint and ceramic glazes). Van Gogh had a habit of putting his paint brush in his mouth. This may have contributed to his mental problems.
CupidLeprechaun
Tanehowl, actually he thought and they thought that he was insane but it was actually epilepsy they just couldn't diagnose him with it
tess
he cut it off for a prostitute he was infatuated with. She loved his "fat lil' ear lobes", so he thought of it as a gift before killing himself. He was hallucinating from being under the extremely HOT su sun for hours while painting and inhaling the fumes from the Colbolt Blue paint (probably the White Titanium as well)
maryana
he is look like a alien without his ear
Natman
He givesrelevance to the genius' are partly off the rocker. Sad though!

Vincent van Gogh was one of the artists we studied in Grade 8 Art at high school. - The parents had a baby boy before Vincent and Theo who died at a few months old. Sadly, his name was Vincent and they named the 2nd baby after him. - Bizarre for Vincent to see his own name on a gravestone...

Dianna Bella74, im pretty sure mirrors where not a thing so he cut his ear off to research it
Ginny
flowercat0523, it's something he can't do but life force his to do. something he didn't survive . The voice, he hears voices which he followed but still didn't satisfy. Humans are unforgivable.
