One hundred years before Van Gogh's death, in the sunny July in the field of Ovi, a gunshot wounded Van Gogh's abdomen. Two days later, he died of his injuries. According to research data, Van Gogh's death was suicide. General art historians and art critics also think that the gunfire in Ovi Field is really a painful soul's final farewell to the world. However, with the worldwide popularity of Van Gogh, more and more attention has been paid to the study of Van Gogh's life and works. Some art critics have put forward different views on the cause of Van Gogh's death-referring to his works and letters with relatives and friends, re-examining Van Gogh's life and deducing "Van Gogh's theory of non-suicide". Compared with the "ear cutting incident" in 1888, Gauguin was warmly received by the "Yellow House" higher than Yael, expecting them to live together and learn painting skills, which laid the foundation for the establishment of "Southern Studio". Unexpectedly, because their personalities and creative ideas are too far apart, disputes often occur. After fierce conflicts, Gauguin left angrily. Feeling sad and ashamed, Van Gogh cut off the lower part of his left ear in excitement. Later, Van Gogh wrapped his ears in a newspaper and reluctantly went to a hotel for help and received treatment from a doctor. But he refused to explain to anyone the story of the "ear-cutting incident". 1890 Van Gogh, who shot himself in the abdomen at Ovi Field, was also hobbled by injury. He still went back to the inn for help and accepted the doctor's treatment obediently, and refused to explain the reason for his suicide. The incident is very similar to the "ear cutting incident", so it is possible that Van Gogh only committed a "symbolic suicide" and did not really want to end his life. If he really wanted to kill himself, why didn't he leave a suicide note? Why are there no constellations in the letters with relatives and friends that can best reflect their ups and downs? Furthermore, if he wanted to commit suicide, why didn't Van Gogh aim the gun at his head, but at his abdomen? And one shot failed to kill him, why didn't he make up a shot? Why bother to ask for help and receive medical treatment meekly? All this has left many doubts about Van Gogh's suicide theory. Longing for affection, love and friendship, Van Gogh's prayer for life is actually humble and ordinary. In painting, he only requires that the price of the painting sold in one day can be equal to the pigment used for painting; In life, I hope to have a warm home with my wife and children. This longing for home is often involuntarily revealed in his works, such as Four Bird's Nest and Potato Eaters. In the latter picture, a poor family is surrounded by dim lights, which is warm and touching. According to careful observation, there is Vincent Van Gogh's signature handwriting on the back of the chair where the left male host is sitting at home. Can it be regarded as the painter's casual confession of homesickness? In addition, in his paintings, there are often ode to children and mothers, such as Mrs. Lulang and Children, Mrs. Lulang, Nightmare and so on. In terms of love, Van Gogh had a secret crush on Seurat from 1873, and experienced many failed courtship, as did friendship. Van Gogh's personality is kind and simple, but his strong expression, persistence close to religious fanaticism, and the psychology of asking friends to do the same in return often make friends unbearable. For example, Gauguin, his only friend who spent a long time together, left Yael after the "ear cutting incident", which is an example. However, despite repeated setbacks, Van Gogh's longing for the world of two people, such as love and friendship, has not diminished slightly, and it is also reflected from time to time in his works, such as "The Starry Moon Night in Montmagang" and "The Stairs of Ovi", in which the characters are all in pairs; Even the boats by the sea are interdependent; Another example is van Gogh's bedroom. The furniture and furnishings in the room, including chairs, paintings, water bottles and pillows, are also juxtaposed in pairs. All this shows that Van Gogh wanted to find a bosom friend of the same sex or the opposite sex. Van Gogh's admiration for friendship can also be seen from his enthusiasm for setting up a studio in the south. 1886, Van Gogh came to Paris, which not only broadened his horizons, but also influenced his painting style significantly by Impressionism and Japanese Ukiyo-e, and at this time, his ideal of organizing a southern studio began to sprout in his heart. He plans to invite his close painter friend and brother Theo to settle in the south and create together in the sunny south. Therefore, from 65438 to 0888, after Van Gogh arrived in Yael, he scrimped and saved, and bought a lot of furniture for the artist's studio in the spacious "Yellow House" project, with the aim of establishing an ideal southern studio in the future. In Van Gogh's works, he often shows his attachment and yearning for secular love. And is such a temperament middleman who pursues human love very different from a suicidal person's mentality? A jade onion still life, a fierce struggle with death, was completed after the "ear cutting incident". Burning candles and sprouting jade onions in the book symbolize the resurrection of life. Alcohol and tobacco are "suicide preventive drugs" mentioned in Van Gogh's letters; Inside the pottery shell are herbs for treating diseases. The book on the right side of the painting is "Year of Health", which represents the painter's hope for an early recovery, and the letter from Theo is in the lower right corner. All this is Van Gogh's monologue in pursuit of a new life. Besides, although tulips are traditional flowers representing the hometown of Holland, Van Gogh has a soft spot for sunflowers, and his paintings often take sunflowers as the theme. According to Van Gogh's letters, tulips can only be used for viewing, while sunflowers can not only be eaten, but also be used as horse feed, which is extremely important for the lives of poor farmers. In addition, the sunflower, which represents love, faith and loyalty, is a symbol of the sun and endless life, so Van Gogh, who loves sunflower, should also love life! Cypress and olive trees often appear in Van Gogh's later works. According to the traditional meaning of western Europe, cypress stands for death and olive stands for praying for peace. For example, Starry Night, Cypress Road, Olive Tree, etc. The strong and intense lines and styles in the painting are not so much the call of death to Van Gogh as his resistance and struggle against death. Van Gogh's lonely art is often lonely, just like Cezanne and Gauguin in that era, but Van Gogh couldn't stand loneliness and longed for a deep love. He loves his lover passionately, hoping to get warm love in return. According to the research of art critics, in addition to Gauguin's controversy, Yael's "ear cutting incident" was also a major factor for Van Gogh to learn the news of his beloved brother Theo's marriage. As we all know, Theo is the only relative who has given Van Gogh full financial support for a long time, so everyone is deeply afraid that Theo will gradually leave him after marriage. So before this, Theo and his girlfriend talked about marriage, and Van Gogh expressed strong opposition. This time, Van Gogh knew there was no reason to stop him. His heart was full of sadness, shame and fear. He shot himself and wanted to call his brother. Sure enough, Theo learned that Van Gogh had cut his ear, so he went to visit him to comfort Van Gogh who didn't want to face loneliness. Later, according to the analysis of art critics, Van Gogh was admitted to St Remy's sanatorium on 1889, which was related to his psychological shock when he learned that Theo's wife was pregnant. Finally, at the turn of spring and summer of 1890, during Ovi's recovery, Van Gogh tried several times to persuade Theo to take his wife and children on vacation. However, Theo finally decided to return to his mother's home in Holland. At this time, loneliness struck again, and Van Gogh finally committed suicide in Ovi's field. The gunshot was not really suicide, but wanted to be heard by his brother in the distance.
