Vincent Van Gogh Trivia

Intrepid intern Rachelle Gibb has created an artistic quiz about one of the most tormented, troubled, talented painters in history.

I?d be willing to bet my left ear that the very first thing you think about when you hear the words ?Van Gogh? is a crazy artist with a razor. So let?s cut to the chase. Just what happened on that fateful (bloody) night when Vincent Van Gogh took a knife to his ear?

button The artist was so starry-eyed over his forbidden love, he whacked off his ear as a sign of his grief.
button The artist got in a fight with a friend, making him angry enough to lob off his ear and take the bloody lobe to his favorite prostitute as a sign of his affections.
button It’s all just a bunch of bloody rubbish! Vincent was a painter, not a psych patient. All of those ear-slicing stories amount to nothing more than myth.
