The art of medicine: aesthetic deprivation in clinical settings
Date
2014
Abstract
There are some very striking examples of the major therapeutic benefit of engaging with art in the illnesses of great artists, from the therapeutic narrative of van Gogh’s paintings in the asylum at St Remy de Provence to the burning desire of Alfred Schnittke to compose a new movement of his cello concerto and Lovis Corinth to continue painting after devastating strokes. Yet translating the transformative experience of these exceptionally gifted individuals to everyday practice is a major challenge.
