Vincent van Gogh was not a man known for his good mental health, not in his lifetime or now. \u00a0In fact, outside of his art, he is a man known for cutting off his own ear and delivering a piece of his ear to a girlfriend. \u00a0While this is true in essence, much of the story is exaggerated for drama or by simple misunderstanding. \u00a0A short answer to why Van Gogh cut off his ear, which in truth was only the lobe of his left ear and not its entirety, is that his mental state reached its breaking point after several weeks of poor health, little sleep, emotional duress, and a frenetic work pace. \u00a0The entire story is a longer answer. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It all starts with Van Gogh leaving Paris and going to Arles in the hopes that it would recuperate his spirits and health. \u00a0He also went with the dream of establishing an artist cooperative, to make a place where artistic thought could be shared, debated, and developed into its own school, a \u201cstudio of the south.\u201d \u00a0As a man who wanted to be accepted, to belong somewhere, it was a dream that he desperately nursed to fruition. \u00a0Paul Gauguin<\/a> was his first step toward achieving that dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Vincent's<\/p>\n

Vincent’s House in Arles (The Yellow House)<\/a><\/p>\n

Vincent van Gogh arrived in Arles in February of 1888, where he started on his dream of creating the studio of the south by renting a home that he promptly dubbed the \u201cYellow House.\u201d \u00a0Once established in his new home, he began painting frantically to make it as comfortable and as homey as possible. \u00a0He wanted it to be a perfect base from which to build the Southern school of art of which he dreamed. <\/span><\/p>\n

The two men had met in Paris. \u00a0Van Gogh was left with a high opinion of his fellow artist. \u00a0Gauguin did not share Van Gogh\u2019s enthusiasm for the friendship. \u00a0By all accounts, he liked Vincent well enough but not enough to live with the man or found an artistic cooperative with him. \u00a0He would have preferred it to be himself as the focal point or the cooperative and for it to be based out of the tropics. \u00a0Gauguin had a high opinion of himself, seeing his style of art to be the \u201cright\u201d way and, with that mindset, Vincent to be a passable artist at best. \u00a0He didn\u2019t like how Vincent worked from spontaneity, painting what he saw in front of him. \u00a0Gauguin preferred to paint from memory, to control how his composition would turn out rather than allow the heat of the moment to influence it. \u00a0Furthermore, Gauguin\u2019s ideal place for an artistic cooperative was more along the lines of Martinique, where he spent his later years. \u00a0So how \u00a0did Paul Gauguin end up in Arles with Vincent van Gogh? \u00a0The answer is money. <\/span><\/p>\n

For several months, Paul Gauguin had been short on funds. \u00a0He was racking up debt, and like Vincent, was dependent on Theo van Gogh for money. \u00a0Theo Van Gogh did not support Gauguin altruistically as he did Vincent, but Gauguin needed Theo, an art dealer, to sell his paintings. \u00a0Occasionally, Gauguin paid Theo in paintings while Theo sent him money. \u00a0Both of the Van Gogh brothers wanted Gauguin in the south of France. \u00a0Van Gogh repeatedly asked Gauguin to join him in Arles, which the other man put off again and again. \u00a0Theo gently leaned on Gauguin, encouraging the man to move to Arles as well. \u00a0It was with Theo in mind that he agreed to join Vincent. \u00a0With the death of their Uncle Cent, Theo inherited some money and planned on devoting it to Vincent\u2019s southern artist cooperative. \u00a0While never explicitly stated, it was understood between all parties that Gauguin would receive the same stipend a month as Vincent and Gauguin would send Theo paintings. \u00a0Gauguin arrived in Arles on October 23rd, 1888.<\/span><\/p>\n

At first, it went well. \u00a0Van Gogh was eager to please, and Gauguin wanted to make the best of what life had given him and save up money to move to the tropics. \u00a0Gauguin assumed the role of master with Van Gogh as his student. \u00a0With those roles, Gauguin encouraged Vincent to paint more from his imagination rather than what was right in front of him. \u00a0Vincent tried; during this time he painted some works that were partially from imagination, such as <\/span>Memory of the Garden at Etten<\/span><\/i><\/a> and another version of <\/span>The Sower<\/span><\/i><\/a>. \u00a0Gauguin also took control of the household matters, creating a budget where they would cook their own food instead of eating out, stretch their own canvas, and still have money to visit local bordellos and grab drinks. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The situation deteriorated quickly. \u00a0Van Gogh was notoriously hard to live with; he was mercurial in temperament and often did not remember when he acted strangely. \u00a0It grew worse when the several months of painting at a cracking speed culminated with increasingly heated arguments about art with Gauguin. \u00a0Van Gogh became stressed that Gauguin would leave and his dream of the Studio of the South would die with his departure. \u00a0Gauguin did try to keep the peace to some extent, but he was on edge too from their differing temperaments and artistic styles. \u00a0He frequently wrote to their mutual friend Emile Bernard about how they rarely agreed on anything related to art and also wrote to Theo that he wanted to leave in December, but he later changed his mind. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

December 23rd, 1888, two months after Gauguin\u2019s arrival, was the infamous night. \u00a0The bare facts known are that Van Gogh and Gauguin quarrelled, Gauguin left the Yellow House for the night, and Van Gogh caught off a bit of his lower left ear with a razor and gave it to a prostitute that he favored; they were not in a relationship that went beyond the usual exchange before that day. \u00a0On the morning of Christmas Eve, the police came to the Yellow House to find Vincent weak from blood loss with a great deal of blood upon his bed sheets. \u00a0These are the definitive facts.<\/p>\n

What remains to be added is Gauguin\u2019s version of the night, which follows the same pattern, but his accounts deviate in two ways. \u00a0In what he told Emile Bernard, who wrote the tale down in a letter, he said that Vincent followed him after their argument and asked him if he was leaving. \u00a0When Gauguin confirmed his intention to leave Arles, Van Gogh handed him a piece of newspaper with the words, \u201cThe murderer took flight,\u201d written on it. \u00a0Van Gogh likely meant to accuse Gauguin as a \u201cmurderer\u201d of his ideal artist cooperative. \u00a0Gauguin \u00a0wrote a second account in his autobiography 15 years later, where he claims that Vincent threatened him with the razor, and Gauguin scared him off. \u00a0No doubt the man wanted to appear in the best light possible. \u00a0Another fact of that night is that Gauguin used this opportunity to leave Arles as swiftly and quietly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vincent van Gogh left no personal record of that night so it is unknown what really happened between the two men. \u00a0What we do know is that this event was a horrible night where a man felt driven to self-mutilation. \u00a0It is a night shrouded in mystery. \u00a0In truth, no one really even knows how much of his ear Van Gogh actually removed. \u00a0Most accounts say it was only part of the ear, just the lobe, but some still maintain it was the entirety. \u00a0It is a bizarre tragedy that began Vincent\u2019s true struggle with his mental health, one that he would ultimately lose.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
