Today was the day that Vincent van Gogh sliced off his ear, giving the severed piece to a prostitute. One version I have heard is that van Gogh so loved her so much that he cut off his ear to as proof. At the time, van Gogh was working with another painter, Gaugin, and the two were known to argue fiercely about art. Some academics think that van Gogh cut off his ear in anger during one of these fights, others have said that Gaugin cut the ear in a duel over the prostitute.
