_Landscaping with High Explosives_ is the only known painting ever finished by Fernanado Gauguin, Paul Gauguin’s fifth cousin once removed. “Ferny” as he was known to his friend, suffered from a form of pica which led him to drink paint. This, obviously, interfered with his painting to a considerable degree. Indeed, he only finished _Landscaping with High Explosives_ by mixing TNT into his paint.

Actually, he **did** drink the paint; he then burped. Thus, art historians debate whether Ferny can really be said to have **painted** _Landscaping with High Explosives_, or whether he became it.
