I was a painter with a turbulent mind,
My art is famous, though my troubles were kind.
I lost a part of myself, but still I create,
My works are celebrated, both early and late.
Who am I, with a story so clear,
Known famously as Two Ears, my dear?

Was it Vincent who lost his ear and the Love of his Life?

Apparently, Vincent only hacked off the fleshy part of his ear lobe and not the entire ear. A complex character who lived an interesting life plagued with mental health issues and which concluded with him taking his own life. Even today, people not even remotely interested in art, can recognize some of his more famous works and know who painted it.

Where Do I begin to Tell the Story how a Love would be

A Sweet Love Story Older than the Sea
They should make a movie about his life don't you think..
About all famous painters
And Me... Should go for the first time of my life to the...
van Gogh Musea

I have more than likely walked right past the museum, but never actually thought to visit.

Probably because I was very grumpy after being kept awake all night by a couple next door on the ferry pissed as a fart stomping around like a herd of elephants, in-between constant bickering, playing tinny 'trance' music and occasional loud grunting noises.

All facking night.

I can't even say I am much of an art enthusiast, but I do recognize how he beautifully expressed his emotions and inner turmoil via his paintings.

Museums come down to age.

I fell head over heels in love with the science museum in London as a kid. I still pop in while in London for a look round.
For a while tate Britain was my fav....... never out the place.

The pandemic produced some interesting pieces.
