The sources of Matisse's "The Dance" lie in folk dances, which even today
preserve something of the ritual nature - albeit not always comprehended
today - of pagan times. Before this canvas, the theme of the dance passed
through several stages in Matisse's work. - art-Matisse.com

'Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear 1889' was painted shortly
after Van Gogh returned home from hospital having mutilated
his own ear. - artsvanGogh.com
