Esquizofrenia y arte

Rate this book
Leo Navratil, nacido en 1921 se doctoró en medicina por la Universidad de Viena en 1946, y ha venido dedicándose a la psiquiatría desde esa fecha. En 1950 se doctoró en Filosofía y en 1966 publicó su primer libro, Schizophrenie und Sprache: zur Psychologie der Dichtung.

En Esquizofrenia y arte, segundo libro publicado por el autor, Navratil indaga en las relaciones entre la producción artística de los esquizofrénicos y la de los artistas mentalmente sanos. En opinión de Navratil, el esfuerzo creador de los esquizofrénicos, aun siendo un síntoma dentro del curso de la enfermedad, no difiere básicamente del llevado a cabo por otros artistas. Con abundante material gráfico e información basada en su experiencia personal, Navratil da a conocer una serie de obras que son, en palabras de A. Bader, "la expresión artística espontánea de los valores humanos eternos que proceden del inconsciente".

About the author

Leo Navratil

27 books3 followers
Leo Navratil was an Austrian psychiatrist and author.
He worked in the hospital in Gugging. He called the works, paintings, and texts of his patients "Zustandsgebundene Kunst" (state-bound art). To Navratil, patients make only in the acute stage of their mental illness artistically relevant works. These works have been exhibited in Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg and Heidelberg. Navratil supported the creativity of his patients and showed their works in the art context and published some of their texts. One of his best known artists is Oswald Tschirtner, also known as O.T.
