4.0 out of 5 stars
An engaging collection of lectures on art and artists,
By dr. (Dr. Stephen Diamond, author of ANGER, MADNESS, AND THE DAIMONIC from Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creativity & Madness: Psychological Studies of Art and Artists (Hardcover)
Dr. Barry Panter, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, has put together with his fellow editors an engaging collection of transcribed lectures on art and artists. In most cases, the mental health professionals analyzing these artists (e.g., Jackson Pollock, van Gogh) take rather a reductionistic, Freudian stance on the sources of creativity. This is to me the book's drawback, along with the limitation of space--and therefore, depth--allowed each contributor. Nevertheless, there are some excellent articles here, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the psychology of creativity and its close connection to madness, or--to put it more clinically--psychopathology.
