Synopsis

Although when he was alive, Vincent Van Gogh hadn't enough money to pay for his art materials, a hundred years later, his painting "The Irises" sold for an unprecedented sum at a New York auction. This short, excerpted from Jacques Giraldeau's 1989 film "Le Tableau noir," takes a loving look at the masterwork.
