The artist Paul Gauguin was in the news earlier this month. Apparently it was Gauguin who cut off Van Gogh's ear, or so a recently published book claims.
The book, titled In Van Gogh's Ear: Paul Gauguin and the Pact of Silence, is the product of 10 years of research by German academics Hans Kaufmann and Rita Wildegans.

What is interesting about this book is that it is based on the original police investigation of the time.
I've always admired the works of Paul Gauguin and built myself a gadget to familiarize/inspire myself with his paintings. The gadget is now published and features more than 200 paintings.
