Between 1919 and 1921, circulars were sent to psychiatric institutions in German speaking countries by Hans Prinzhorn and Karl Willmanns, then Head of the Psychiatric University Hospital. The artistic works of patients they asked for were destined for the creation of a museum of psychopathological art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1922, Prinzhorn published his richly illustrated \u003cem\u003eArtistry of the Mentally Ill\u003c\/em\u003e [in German] based on the collection. Received enthusiastically by the art scene of his time, it immediately became \"the Bible of the Surrealists\". The book was edited many times and translated into various languages. To this day, it remains a classic. It launched the field of psychiatric art. It was the first attempt to analyze the drawings of the mentally ill not merely psychologically, but also aesthetically. Prinzhorn presents the works of ten \"schizophrenic masters\", now housed in the Prinzhorn Collection at the University Hospital Heidelberg, with in-depth aesthetic analysis of each and also full-color reproductions of their work. This is the first and only English translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 09, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44279082647654,"sku":"9781684223763","price":69.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/7SG09wgAca9781684223763_6474e6fb-5f08-4847-9602-375bfa63aad9.jpg?v=1766558928","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/artistry-of-the-mentally-ill-a-contribution-to-the-psychology-and-psychopathology-of-configuration-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
