Gauguin 'cut off Van Gogh's ear'
May 6th 2009 01:03
HE IS known as the tortured artist who cut off his own ear as he struggled with mental illness after the breakdown of his friendship with a fellow artist.
"To me, he was a better artist than a photographer," Paul Gauguin said, carrying a candle for his wife, "But he was always shooting himself in the foot," Gauguin said, loading his fist, and speaking of Vincent van Gogh.
Gauguin, to anybody who knows nothing about painting, is a fellow artist of the tortured artist who cut off his own ear, and carries a candle for his wife, Frida Kahlo, as long as we both shall live.
"I remember when I accidentally cut off his head," Gauguin said, as he waited on his wife, "Somehow he lost his head," Gauguin said, "I saw it as a negative, but he had his head blown up anyway."
Gauguin, very taken by Frida Kahlo, has done the unspeakable with a paint brush by using the pigments of his imagination to represent his life with his wife, according to the Urine Artist.
"I think the whole thing was just a terrible accident," Gauguin's wife said, after Van Gogh lost his head, "I just hope I know how much my husband loves me," she said, as her husband waited on his wife.

cheeky . . .
oh and i like how a Urine Artist was available for interview! haha
from the original article:
German art historians say the true version of events never surfaced as the two men kept a "pact of silence" — Gauguin to avoid prosecution and Van Gogh in a vain attempt to keep a friend with whom he was hopelessly infatuated.

On a lighter note, it's a great shame that Gauguin has yet to be fully appreciated for the artist of his stature that he is.
Yes, another short-arse on the agenda.
Call me biased.
I am.
Seriously though, I think he liberated colours.
Back of the queue Abe Lincoln, who wasn't against slavery as such.
He just wanted the States united.
Thanks for the support.
I am wimp wristed.

Probably because he was significantly shorter in stature.
Reverse discrimination, Your Highness.
Spot on with the Yellow Christ.
You know your shit.
Impressed.

i think his work isnt as well know because he used "foreign" subjects in the latter part of his career . . . like look at the works of Van Gogh that are the most famous: Sunflowers, and Starry Night, people like repdrocing them because the subject matter is familiar and "pretty", whereas exotic islander women are an acquired taste
never fence with short people, they will cut you down to their size

I think whatever the phenomenom of Van Gogh, it's in my mind very like the regard we of the bourgeoise have for Shane Warne. We feel partly responsible.
On the Sunflowers, I heard he painted twelve, right.
Like twelve apostles, like twelve months. All things that follow the sun, religiously.
I tried fencing with a taller person, and it just made for an uneven gait.

I've seen what happens to a person when they do.
Thirteen disciples too, then.
Trevor the missing disciple?
Perhaps we should keep the feminists happy.
Did I say keep?
Porsche the disciple.
You can try and hold me responsible.
I've never handled responsibility very well, though.
