Within his first week there, he began Irises, inspired by the natural surroundings of the asylum’s garden where he was recovering from episodes of self-harm and hospitalization. The cropped composition is divided into broad areas of vivid color, with monumental irises overflowing its borders. Each iris is distinct. Van Gogh carefully observed their movements and forms, capturing a variety of curved silhouettes defined by wavy, twisting, and curling lines Vincent van Gogh Irises Dutch, Saint-Rémy, France, 1889 Oil on canvas 28 inches x 36 5/8 inches 90.PA.20
