On 23 December 1888, according to Paul Gauguin, an argument took place at 2 Place Lamartine, Arles, France during which his fellow artist Vincent Van Gogh threatened him with a razor before cutting off a piece of his own ear and taking it to a prostitute in an adjacent brothel. #ArlesFrance #VincentVanGogh #CuttingEar #PaulGauguin
