As soon as a real interest is shown in works created by people who have encountered, at some point in their lives, psychological or psychiatric problems, questions emerge, conceptual confusions multiply, and beliefs are affirmed. In the 1950s and especially the 1960s, psychiatrists believed that the works created by their patients could only be a reflection of their pathology. Through the work of thirteen artists from the Sainte-Anne Collection, this book questions the processes of reading these works which, beyond the symptom, are representative of the artistic trends of their time.
