Washington, July 30 (ANI): Vincent van Gogh, whose paintings are among the most adored in the world and the story of his life and death is legendary, not have killed himself after all, new revelations have suggested.
While van Gogh was no doubt plagued by physical and mental illness, the authors of a new biography say their exhaustive forensic investigation suggests he may not have taken his own life.
In this two-part piece, Morley Safer travels to France to retrace van Gogh's final steps - and explore the authors' detective work firsthand, SBC News reported.
A biography published last year challenged a crucial part of the van Gogh legend. A 10-year forensic investigation by two Pulitzer Prize-winning authors which has upended art history.
Their story rambles from van Gogh's birthplace in Holland to Paris, rural France, and to South Carolina. Much of our report is magnificently illustrated by the artist himself.
For ten years, Steve Naifeh and his partner Greg Smith peered into every dark corner of Vincent van Gogh's life.
He was laughed out of art school, couldn't hold a job and even tried being a minister, like his father, with disastrous results. (ANI)
