美国作家质疑梵高死因：谁杀死了天才梵高？

Naifeh 和Smith因合著美国画家杰克逊·波洛克传记而荣获普林策奖。他们花了十年的时间研究他们的新书，该书将于明天（10.17）在英国出版上市。

In Van Gogh: The Life, they claim that the Dutch impressionist "knew nothing about guns" and that "no gun was ever found" at the scene or anywhere else.

在他们的新书《梵高：人生》中，他们认为这位荷兰印象派画家“对枪一无所知”，而且在现场或其他地方“也没有发现枪”。

They conclude that Van Gogh had a "history of violent outbursts" and suggest a disagreement of some kind may have been his undoing.

他们得出结论，认为梵高有过“暴力倾向的精神病史”，可能是某种意见不合造成了画家的死亡。

According to the official version of his death, Van Gogh was only 37 when he went into a field in the French town of Auvers-sur-Oise on the evening of July 27, 1890, and shot himself in the chest with a revolver.

根据官方说法，1890年7月27日的晚上，当时的梵高住在法国Auvers-sur-Oise小镇上，他走到一片麦田里用左轮手枪结束了自己的生命，当时画家年仅37岁。

But in their account, Naifeh and Smith claim that there is strong evidence against this, as Van Gogh left no suicide note and the bullet which killed him entered his body "from an unusual, oblique angle – not straight on as one would expect in a suicide".
