On the Trail of Losers Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Matisse in the South of France

These men were unwashed, had broken teeth and syphilis, argued incessantly about
paints and canvases, drank and smoked heavily, left their bar tabs unpaid, and
were generally derided by their contemporaries

Van Gogh was a particular weirdo, falling in love with syphilic prostitutes,  to
the shock of his clergy family members.

Could not hold down a job. Went to South of France to visit Cezanne I believe
but they quarreled so violently that he nearly stabbed him.

Gauguin’s decision to leave Arles was apparently too much for van Gogh’s
fragile sanity. The next day, Gauguin reports that van Gogh chased after him in
the street with a razor blade. Gauguin checked into a hotel for his safety, not
knowing that his housemate had returned home and inexplicably cut off the lower
part of his left ear. According to police reports, van Gogh then went to a local
brothel, asked for a woman named Rachel, and presented the wrapped and bloody
ear to her as a keepsake.

Truly, you are a poet of conflict.

Moreover, assuming that both brothers had contracted syphilis in the brothels of
Paris (March 1886 – February 1888), it is impossible that they developed so
quickly neurosyphilis mental disorder, which occurs 10 to 20 years after
infection.

I would say that they assume paris was his first time whoring. But actually he
was a weirdo in 1870s, whereby he did his ink sketches and slammed around the
poor areas of Amsterdam. Because he was a loser, he caught syphilis while trying
to be a clergyman. It's entirely possible he went to brothels from the tome his
cousin rejected him.

Also his brother Theo died of syphilis 6 months after Vincent, so the claim the
disease did not have time to develop makes no sense.

Those dudes were gross

maybe for their time they were normal albeit a bit eccentric. i think it’s
interesting van gogh was a red head. he seemed like a hard core depressive. can
mental illness make somebody a loser? perhaps if they wallow in self pity too
long.

It was a fascinating time because they really believed in what they were doing,
even though they were poor, ill, dirty, and had to beg syphilic prostitutes for
attention. For example, when vangogh painted that famous portrait of the
prostitute, I would bet he negotiated some sort of sex payment. That would be a
loser move.

Their teeth fell out, their genitals rotted off, they suffered from
malnutrition. Yet they really went for it artistically. I mean you get people
with rotten teeth and genitals all over major US cities, but I have nary seen
one of them paint.

Edgar Allen Poe died raving and wearing another man's clothes.

His detractors published that he died of alcoholism in the newspapers of the
time.

The modern hypothesis is he died of rabies. Horrific but somewhat apt way to
go.
