Apparently, fellow artist Paul Gauguin did. In the latest art news, there was a dual and Gauguin, who was an expert fencer cut off the ear.
But in order to protect Gauguin, they both agreed to tell the police that it was Gogh himself that cut off his own ear. There’s even a book released entitled Van Gogh’s Ear that has been heavily researched. For all you art fans out there, I’m sure this is one sure to please.

I have just completed a visiting position as an assistant professor at Dalhousie University. My ideas are not associated with my employer; they are expressions of my own thoughts and ideas. Some of them are just musings while others could be serious discussions that could turn into a bigger project.
Besides philosophy, I enjoy martial arts (Kuk Sool Won), playing my violin, enjoying coffee around town, and experimenting with new food.
That is one I didn’t know. I knew there was skepticism about wither he actually did it him self but I never really looked into it. Kinda nice to know though. LOL
