David takes us through the tumultuous, penultimate year of van Gogh's life - 1889, spent in St. Remy. David describes the events that bring van Gogh (1853-1890) to St. Remy and the asylum of St. Paul de Mausole as he walks with the viewer down the lanes, olive groves, countryside, and asylum interior which served as subject matter for van Gogh during his most productive and famous period. David stops to show us the location of Starry Night,Irises, and ;The Cypresses, and other great paintings. He considers life in the asylum within van Gogh's humble cell with its barred window and a view that would inspire his paintings. David demonstrates the personally expressive palette and brushwork of van Gogh while describing van Gogh's uniquely spiritual and impassioned intentions for painting. I am working like one actually possessed, more than ever I am in a dumb fury of work. David traces van Gogh's art education, insights, and his passion to reveal his inner spirit through nature, not to copy nature. David demonstrates van Gogh's drawing techniques as a preparation for his paintings, reveals his connections to Dutch landscape painting and Impressionist color, and shows how he employs these ideas with expressive, moving gestures in the landscape of van Gogh. David then works with his student and guest artist Lisa Love to demonstrate more of van Gogh's ideas.
