A German artist by the name of Diemut Strebe has created a replica of Vincent Van Gogh’s
severed ear using DNA from Vincent’s great-great-grandnephew Lieuwe Van Gogh,
and now the strange incarnation of the legendary lopped ear is on display
at the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany.
This unforgettable 2014
Dr. Frankenstein gesture
reminds me of a poem
If forgetting were an art I'd be Van Gogh
Then forget where my ear was
And cut off my toe.
