Synopsis

In this powerful essay, published shortly before his own death, Antonin Artaud offers a passionate tribute to Vincent Van Gogh. Artaud vehemently argues that Van Gogh was not insane, but rather a victim of a society that refused to understand his unique vision. He portrays the painter as a profound artist and a 'formidable musician' of color, challenging conventional perceptions of genius and madness.
