Why did Vincent van Gogh want to end his life?
Experts believe that the popular story that Vincent Van Gogh killed himself is actually a myth. Supposedly, he was shot accidentally, and died shortly thereafter.
Vincent Van Gogh died from a gunshot wound suffered two days prior to his death. Although commonly thought to be self-inflicted, experts can not agree if it was an attempted suicide, or an accidental shooting from a local child. What is not debated, however, was Van Gogh's deteriorating mental health and mood, which is believed to be the cause of his supposed suicide attempt.
Van Gogh suffered from Manic Depression or Bipolar Disorder. This is a mental illness which has a very high suicide rate.

What type of art is starry night by Vincent van gogh?
Van Gogh was struggling, as all artists do, with a particular area of artistic achievement. In this case, he was trying to capture a simplicity, a power, and perhaps a message, from the natural world. This is something he perceived within the scene of that starry night reflecting in the river, and he wished to make it plain for others to see, as well. He was applying "the end justifies the means," and if that meant a simplistic, surrealistic, even garish piece of art work, it didn't matter as long as his message was conveyed successfully.
Why did Vincent cut his ear off?
Vincent van Gogh cut off one of his ears because he had had an argument with one of his friends. The argument may have been whether Paul Gauguin was going to leave Arles, where they had been working together.
It is believed that he cut his left earlobe off December 24, 1888 during some kind of seizure. This took place in Arles (France) when Van Gogh was 35.
Nobody was with Vincent van Gogh when he cut off his ear.
He used a razor (a very sharp kind of knife) to cut it off, he was in deep depression after his friend Paul Gauguin had been mad at him.
Van Gogh suffered from mental illness. He gave the blood-covered part of his ear to a prostitute he knew, not his loved one, which he had none. Later he shot himself and died

The relationship of van Gogh and Gauguin?
Van Gogh had left for Arles in the hopes of turning it into an artists' haven and had convinced Gauguin to join him. Vincent had spent all the money his brother Theo had given him on art supplies, so when Gauguin arrived he was in a malnourished state. Still, the men got on, working well together but frequently having arguments about art and techniques. As the weather worsened they were forced to stay indoors with each other for longer and longer periods of time and their arguments worsened. Vincent's mental state declined, possibly due to cabin fever, possibly due to poor nutrition, possibly due to stress relating to his generally failed attempt at creating an artists' community. Probably all three combined with a personality that tended to the over zealous.
What challenges did Vincent Van Gogh have?
Vincent Van Gogh faced challenges like: thinking he was a bother to his brother, cutting his ear off, and surviving bleeding to death for 2 whole dies before eve tually dieing.
A bit of additional information worth considering:
Mr. Van Gogh`s biggest challenge as an artist was an arguable lack of talent, especially when compared to many of his contemporaries. In the eyes of many, his art from beginning to end showed an amateurish quality typical of many beginning painters and of schoolchildren, with his fame based more on his ill fated association with his roommate, Paul Gauguin, and the greatly exaggerated self-mutilation as a result of this attempted relationship. Even "gay Paree", in those days, did not openly accept gay realtionships between men.
In any case, Mr. Van Gogh's ultimate challenge was the pschosis that developed from these challenges (his inability to match up to his contemporaries, and his attraction to Mr. Gauguin), resulting in his suicidal death at the age of 37.
Today, he would likely have faired better - at least in love, if not in art.
Vincent was a famous painter and he sent letters to his brother Theo.
