I honestly could care less how a man lost his ear.
It doesn't really change my outlook on his art.

that, and - for some people - there is more value to Van Gogh's work because they believed he produced admirable paintings whilst being so craven with mental illness and out of touch with reality that he cut off his own ear.
it's a bit like feeling that a painting done by a child is very good, even though the standard is terrible when compared with all the other art out there, because you make concessions for the fact it was painted by a child... eg. "that is incredible considering it was done by a six year old".
if Van Gogh wasn't really so mad that he was struggling with reality, and he was just your average depressed soul, perhaps his paintings are less impressive...
Like that painting the elephant did I suppose..?
eek pardon? lol, what elephant?
