Van Gogh's Ear
2010
Overview
\"When, after [Vincent] van Gogh's suicide, in 1890, his fame grew, and the story of the severed ear began to circulate, it became a talisman of modern painting. Before that moment, modernism in the popular imagination was a sophisticated recreation; afterward, it was a substitute religion, an inspiring story of sacrifices made and sainthood attained by artists willing to lose their sanity, and their ears, on its behalf. Last year, though, to front-page headlines around the world, two reputable German academics, Hans Kaufmann and Rita Wildegans, published a book offering a very different account of what happened that night.\" (New Yorker) This article explores differing accounts of what happened the night van Gogh lost his ear. An overview of van Gogh's life and artistic career is included.
