Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1!. Van Gogh was NOT a sculptor!. He was a painter!.

2!. He did not send it to his "ex," but rather, to a tavern serving girl who would not BE his girlfriend!.

3!. Not likely to bleed to death this way, since cutting off one's ear is, essentially a scalp wound that would stop soon after bandaging!. Van Gogh did a lot of self portraits, one of which shows him wearing a bandage on his head, after the incident!.

4!. He died, years later, of syphillis!.

5!. Good idea for a costume!. I saw, on film, a person wearing makeup made to look like the brush strokes of one of his famous self portraits!. With the right texture and colors, he also made his hair look like that in the painting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i dont think this is possbile unless you wee shot in your ear or something but you wouldn't lose that much blood fromy our ear there must have been a diferent reason, that may have happen though if he got a knife and pushed it into his head, very unlikelyWww@QuestionHome@Com

I know people mite think im talkin out my bottom, but he died from syphalis (the sti, i dont know how to spell it) he caught it somehow anyway and it made him go crazy!. well Im not sure if thats what killed him but i think it contributed to it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no he didn't!.

he cut off his ear lobe & that healed, he gave it to a different prostitute ( not the one he loved ) and committed suicide by gunshot!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
