Van Gogh is known beacuse of his insanity towards the end of his life. At a famous moment he cut off his own ear.

van gough had cut his one ear. cup hadle is like ear.the ad is abt van gough musium cafe.

It's by Duval Guillaume.

The coffee cup handle resembles an ear, which has been cut off, as the crazy Van Gogh did to himself.

Thanks o.m. Much needed credits!

What makes this ad really wonderful is how it tells us it's van gogh with the single cube of sugar and the stirrer. This is how 'absinthe', the liquor van gogh was addicted to, was taken.

Oh! I didn't know that. Great find.

Question: how someone with basic knowledge about history of art can't undersand this concept.

Simply beautiful.
