In his ground-breaking study on the life and work of some of our greatest artists, Dr Philip Sandblom explores the intriguing connections between illness, art and creativity. It deals with specific ailments - tuberculosis, sensory defects, congenital malformations and many others - and inquiries into the ways in which they inform and influence the creative personality. Dr Sandblom also goes on to discuss the effects of mental illness, drug addiction and severe pain.
Many outstanding talents are discussed in this enlarged and revised edition - among them, the authors Byron, Walter Scott, Dostoyevsky, Holderlin and William Styron, the artists Goya, Klee, Matisse and Monet and the composers Mozart, Robert Schumann and Beethoven. Dr Sandblom illustrates his arguments with scores and manuscripts as well as nearly 100 paintings and drawings (over 80 in black and white, with 12 colour plates).
