「梵高」用舌頭作畫。

【本報綜合報道】荷蘭已故印象派畫家梵高的畫作聞名於世,美國康涅狄格州動物收容所一隻以他的名字命名的單耳狗,早前用舌頭創作出多幅畫作而聲名大噪。收容所正為牠尋找新主人,收到來自世界各地民眾的申請。

每幅畫賣約300元

7歲的「梵高」是拳師犬和鬥牛犬混血,多年前在北卡羅萊納州的鬥狗場獲救,但因耳朵嚴重受傷而需要切除一隻耳朵。


救援組織的創始人加特納(Jaclyn Gartner)表示,她將可食用顏料放入塗有花生醬的膠袋上教「梵高」用舌頭畫畫,並為牠舉辦一場畫展,雖然只有兩人觀展,但畫作隨後在網上瘋傳,最終約30幅作品以每幅40美元(約312港元)售出,款項將用於救援其他狗隻。

This dog may only have one ear, but he definitely has an eye for painting.Van Gogh the dog is named after the artist who cut off his own ear. The dog was rescued from a dogfighting ring in North Carolina with his ear in such bad shape that it had to be amputated.

But that hasn't gotten in the way of his career as an artist. To help the dog paint a version of the other Van Gogh pieces, Jaclyn Gartner, the founder of Happily Furever After Rescue in Connecticut, uses gobs of paint on a canvas, then slides it into a plastic bag coated with peanut butter. "So his painting is him licking peanut butter off and while he's licking peanut butter all the paint is smeared around and makes the design," Gartner told CNN.But when Van Gogh had a gallery show to raise money and find him a permanent home, only two people showed up.
Nevertheless, sympathy and publicity made Van Gogh a doggie art star.

He's sold 30 pieces averaging $40 each, but the 7-year-old, 75-pound boxer-pitbull mix still needs a home. "He would love someone who would cuddle him because he's a cuddler," Gartner said. "He's a very go-with-the-flow type of dog." This dog may only have one ear, but he definitely has an eye for painting. Van Gogh the dog is named after the artist who cut off his own ear.
