2019
Treating madness and collecting the "art of the insane". Asylum art during the nineteenth century : an archeology of Art Brut.This work is about artifacts made by patients in asylums during the XIXth and the beginning of the XXth century: from their entrance into scientific collections and publications, until the first exhibitions into art galleries during the 1920's. We will try to show how, thanks to the role of some personalities of medical, litterary and artistic areas, the medical status of those creations will be overtaken and they will begin to invest artistic scene.
