Mad Genius: Famous Artists and Psychological Disorders
The course will explore the Mad Genius hypothesis, which is the idea that producing noteworthy art is correlated with having a psychological disorder. The scientific research relevant to this hypothesis will be discussed along with a few selected case studies of famous artists (including van Gogh, Dali, Munch, and Pollock). The course will be primarily lectures with no outside class readings or videos required.
