Opis

Art and illness have been in silent dialogue for centuries. Diseases that Changed Art reveals how physical ailments, neurological disorders and mental illnesses left a profound mark on the works of some of the most influential artists in history.Through an interdisciplinary approach that unites medicine, psychology and art history, the work invites us to understand the fragility of the body not as a limit, but as a force capable of shaping human expression. A revealing journey where illness becomes a mirror, a symbol and a vehicle for creativity.A book for those who wish to understand art from a more human perspective: one where vulnerability does not extinguish creation, but illuminates it.
