Billed as “an exploration of visionary artists and the creative impulse, from the Flemish Masters of the Renaissance to the avant-garde movement of Surrealism and the unsung geniuses of Art Brut and Outsider Art,” this documentary includes the likes of  Hieronymus Bosch, Francisco Goya, Vincent Van Gogh, William Blake, Edvard Munch, Salvador Dali and many more.

Featuring interviews with art historians, artists, museum curators, psychiatrists, neuroscientists, it investigates the relationship between art and madness, and how visionary and avant-garde artists sought to explore their unconscious mind as an inspiration for their art.
