As previously mentioned, Van Gogh was incessantly plagued with visions and would fall into fits of psychosis throughout his adolescence and the entirety of his adult life. As a last effort to rid himself of these demons, Van Gogh entered Saint-Paulde-Mausole asylum. This building was originally an Augustinian monastery and ushered in a period of solitude and isolation. In this time, he desperately clung to his art as salvation and it is thought that Irises was the first piece he created in these circumstances. Preceding his first psychotic attack, these delicate flowers exude a certain cheeriness and show no evidence of volatile or tense attitudes that are evident in most of his following pieces. Painting these flowers gave him quite a bit of joy, and their dancing forms keenly illustrate this happiness.
