Wasn't Van Gogh gay

Answer 1

No. He made several attempts to get a girlfriend but never succeeded. ------- No, he wasn't. In fact, the piece of his ear he severed he (in his view of romance) delivered to a prostitute he thought was his girlfriend. The prosaic version is that Vincent was going to attack Paul Gauguin with a razor, but changed his mind, went back and directed his rage at himself.

Answer 2

He was heterosexual. He tried in vain to attract women. He is described as having regularly frequented the brothels of Arves during his time there.
There is no proof or even anecdotal evidence that Van Gogh was homosexual. The rumor of his homosexuality stems around his friendship with Gaugin which was never of a sexual nature even though they behaved like an old married couple. VanGogh was frequently found in brothels and the story goes that he cut off his ear to show his love for a woman.

Answer 3

Picasso was heterosexual. His orientation was reflected in his paintings, some of which were voyeuristic and erotic, like "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". Picasso had relationships with many different women during his life, including Eva Gouel, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, Geneviève Laporte, and Jacqueline Roque.
