Ah jeez...I guess I gotta paint a picture for ya.
One of Van Gogh's love interests was Eurasian, (hence the Polynesian girl reference).
He had a falling out with fellow Impressionist artist Gauguin, where he attacked him with a straight razor and ended up loosing a part of his own ear, (and now the knife explained).
The guy ended up killing himself later with a gun, (and finally the reference to my concern for your mental state over the progress of your work).
Next time be a little more careful in choosing an artistic reference. Vincent was a pretty dark character with serious issues.
It was a joke!
Sorry, didn't mean to be so esoteric.
