Van Gogh checks himself into an asylum on May 8th, 1889. Same month, he paints Irises. Not after recovering. Not after getting better. First thing. Then June comes. Starry Night. Then the wheatfield with cypresses. Then the portraits. Then the olive trees. Then... The list just keeps going. One of the most creative explosions in the history of art happened inside a mental institution.
