Artistry of the Mentally Ill was a 1922 book by psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn, and is known as the work that launched the field of psychiatric art.

 History - Prinzhorn-Collection
Prinzhorn’s viewpoint was broader, though, than either Meunier’s or Morgenthaler’s.
Prinzhorn compared the “genuine” works of the schizophrenics with the “rational substitute constructions” of the leading artists of his day, and came up with an unconventional and radical critique of civilisation ­ one that appears to have been the actual impetus for his book.
Contrary to Hans Prinzhorn's courageous step of attributing not only aesthetic but also existential verity to such works and their authors, Weygandt interpreted everything that was unaccustomed, confused or deformed in these pictures as signs of hopeless "insanity".

 Geschichte - Prinzhorn-Sammlung
Ausbau zur heutigen Prinzhorn-Sammlung durch Hans Prinzhorn, Assistenzarzt und Kunsthistoriker, unterstützt von Klinikleiter Karl Wilmanns.
In seinem Buch entwickelt Prinzhorn zunächst eine Ausdruckstheorie der Gestaltung.
Konträr zu Hans Prinzhorns mutigem Schritt, den Werken und ihren Schöpfern mit der ästhetischen auch eine existentielle Wahrheit zu geben, deutete Weygandt das Ungewöhnliche, Verworrene oder Deformierte jener Bilder als Indizien für ausweglose "Geisteskrankheit".

 University of Heidelberg
Prinzhorn's study of the Collection took place with Wilmanns' express approval and performed a "pace-maker" function in the process of recognition, admiration and scientific/academic attention for the artistic products of the mentally disturbed which we have come to take for granted today.
The publications of the Heidelberg Prinzhorn Centre (catalogues, books, articles) since 1980 are notable for the concern of the authors to continue in the original culture-anthropological tradition of the 1920s and cast it in a modern form.
If we conceive of the works of the Prinzhorn Collection as documents of extreme forms of human existence, the bid to achieve a better understanding of the nature of psychosis is at the same time a bid to achieve a better understanding of the human mind in general.

Prinzhorn stellt hier zum einen grundsätzliche Fragen nach der menschlichen Kreativität.
Dies führte übrigens dazu, daß Prinzhorn zu seiner Zeit von den meisten seiner psychiatrischen Kollegen vehement als unwissenschaftlich abgelehnt wurde.

 Overview - Prinzhorn-Collection
Hans Prinzhorn (1886-1933), who as an art historian and doctor was versed in both fields, is regarded nowadays as having pioneered an interdisciplinary approach.
He was interested in questions of cultural anthropology, such as the origins of the artistic impulse, or the "schizophrenic sense of existence" he witnessed in contemporary Expressionist art.
Prinzhorn's great achievement was, in effect, to open up the blinkered viewpoint of psychiatry to include the realms of both art and art history.

 Artistry of the Mentally Ill. A Contribution to the Psychology and Psychopathology of Configuration
Before Prinzhorn, works by the mentally ill were considered curiosities, never the subject of scientific or artistic analysis.
However, to Prinzhorn they were "the eruptions of an universal human creative urge" counteracting the autistic tendencies toward isolation.
Prinzhorn demonstrates surprising parallels between his collection and those by children, and between ancient Greek cultures and primitive ones.

In the early 1920s the German art historian and psychiatrist, Hans Prinzhorn (1886-1933), amassed a remarkable collection of some 5,000 paintings, drawings, objects, and collages made by patients in European psychiatric institutions.
His interest, unique at the time, was twofold: to assess the art as creative work, and to use it as a way of studying mental illness.
Prinzhorn's Collection attracted the attention of many artists, including Paul Klee and Oskar Schlemmer, but by the 1930s, when the Nazis declared such work "degenerate," the Collection fell into disrepair.

 Outsiders?
Prinzhorn like Dubuffet, believed that 'true' art was an expression of unconditional, authentic inner genius and not culturally defined.
Prinzhorn, a doctor in a Heidelberg psychiatric hospital, collated about 5,000 works by artists who were producing their works within psychiatric institutions.
A number of the ideas and beliefs of Prinzhorn and Dubuffet and the ongoing discussion of their convictions pose problems.

In 1919, Hans Prinzhorn, a doctor and art historian, was employed by the clinic to oversee the collection.
Another comparative branch that was central to Prinzhorn's theses consisted of examples of "primitive art and children's art." These additions to the collection with its psychiatric perspectives also pave the way for aesthetic and anthropological questions, so that this collection is quite different from projects in England or Sweden.
Prinzhorn's endeavors and the attention drawn to them by his book were followed by a period of inactivity.

Prinzhorn's writings, Bildnerei der Geisteskranken in particular, often explored the powers of the psychopathic art of asylum inmates.
Prinzhorn drew endless comparisons between these inmates' artwork and the artwork of children, two groups of unrecognized artists that fascinated Dubuffet.
For Prinzhorn, animal instinct and savagery, as embodied by inmates and children, led a person to spiritual strength and harmony with the universe, rather than to neurosis.

 Museum "Haus des Eigensinns" - LPE press release
With disgust and dismay the Psychiatric Survivors were informed that the Heidelberg University intends to open a permanent exhibition of the so-called “Prinzhorn Collection” in a lecture hall of the Psychiatry/Neurology Department, for which the murderer Carl Schneider was responsible.
Hans Prinzhorn and the Heidelberg University plucked up these works of art and thus became like colonial ruling institutions in order to create a “psychopathological museum”, which is nothing other than a place for slandering and stigmatizing the artists and their work as “mentally ill”.
Jadi, the custodian of the so-called “Prinzhorn Collection” became aware in Summer of 1996 of the plans for a "Haus des Eigensinns".

When Prinzhorn came to the clinic as an assistant, he was put in charge of expanding that collection, and in 1919-20 acquired items from clinics across Europe, particularly in German-speaking countries, and as far afield as Japan and Peru.
He claims that Prinzhorn "was the one responsible for implanting this notion of the existence of a pathological art.

The Prinzhorn experience raised questions about the criteria for evaluating this kind of art, but left no doubt that "art" it was.
In the catalogue, the present curator of the Prinzhorn, Inge Jadi, described the works as "art brut", the term invented in the 1940s by the French surrealist Jean Dubuffet, whose life was transformed by the collection.
The Prinzhorn exhibition was preceeded by a milestone exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in 1979, "Outsiders: an art without precedent or tradition".

 Beyond Reason: Art and Psychosis Works From the Prinzhorn Collection
Our first acquaintance with the Prinzhorn Collection of psychotic art at the University of Heidelberg was in the paperback edition of Ernst Kris, Psychoanalytic Explorations in Art (New York: Schocken Books, 1967), a book it may help to refer to while reading this one.
This is the full-color catalog of a 1996-1997 exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London of more than 200 examples of artÑdrawings, paintings (some using "body color"), collages, and sculptureÑproduced by mental patients in European psychiatric hospitals.
The full collection, which includes nearly 5,000 items from the period of about 1890 to 1920, was named after Hans Prinzhorn (1886-1933), a German art historian and psychiatrist who did not initiate the collection, but was largely responsible for its promotion, use, and preservation.

 The Anthony Petullo Collection of SELF-TAUGHT AND OUTSIDER ART - European Self-Taught Art: Brut or Naïve?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Both authors were psychiatrists who had initially encountered their subjects in clinical settings, but they broke new ground in recognizing that the work of the mentally ill could also be appreciated as art.
Such art was too difficult to attract a wide public at this time, and hospitalized artists were for the most part unavailable or unable to engage in self-promotion.
Following Prinzhorn’s lead, the Royal Bethlem Hospital in Kent, England, the Sainte-Anne Hospital in Paris and, more recently, the Lower Austrian Psychiatric Hospital in Gugging and the Hospital Art Center—La Tinaia in Florence, Italy, all developed various kinds of programs revolving around artist-patients.
