I. Kaufman Arenberg MD has studied and written about Vincent for over thirty years, and he never believed the nineteenth-century legend

that the artist committed suicide. Now, he puts forth a different side of the story, one bolstered by new, twenty-first-century forensic evidence.

In Killing Vincent: The Man, the Myth, and the Murder, Arenberg strips back the layers of misunderstanding surrounding Vincent’s

final days to determine once and for all if the painter really shot himself–or if he was murdered.

Dr. Irv Arenberg is a retired ear surgeon, author, editor of several medical books, and an innovator with multiple patents.

In 1990 he entered the art history world when the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published his special

communication that posthumously diagnosed Vincent van Gogh with Meniere’s disease, an inner ear disorder –

that overturned the accepted perception that the artist had epilepsy, and more correctly explained his misdiagnosed “attacks”.
