I know It exsists but I dont have any leads to where to look. I am actually combining what I know from my area of studies (psychology major) and what I am doing as an interest (art classes, aka fillers for credit hours).
So its come down to this:
In my art history class we have finished up post-modernism and now it is time for the big ass 10pg (you get the idea) presentation where we must compare two artists/pieces/periods/movements and debate about it. Basically it is a research paper but since its art we can either paint it, power point it, or write it.
I decided to pick something from psychology because as we got into the late 19th century and early 20th century I began to see that art was...different. Mood and expression became big factors and in art, mood usually means depression lol. As we hit the '60s with pop art it got all psychodelic and thats where the research into schizophrenic art came in. I remember an artist mentioned in my adnormal pysch book but cant recall a name.
If you had to bet money on it, what would be closely related to schizophrenia or who would you expect would express those same feelings?
((schizophrenic artists tend to be more intellectual and imaginative (lol?) in their art where as artists who are/were depressed/bi polar showed more feeling, expression and moodiness)) <---obviously being a research paper I need to compare and contrast. here is a valid contrast. Now i need a comparison lol
Im kinda thinking about looking at surreallism, expressionism, or maybe someone like Van Gogh (he was know to suffer from major depression and considered to be border-line bi polar or even schizophrenic with his bizzare behaivor)
