"Imágenes del Inconsciente" is one of the modules in the great exhibition of the rediscovery of Brazil, presented last year in São Paulo.
The art of the mentally ill was appreciated in all its dimension by the most important artists of the century and many poets, writers and painters also attempted to provoke altered psicological states to widen the frontiers of the conscience and to investigate new sources for the artistic creation.
These artistic experiences and the new analytical therapeutic methods, permitted to understand the artistic phenomenon in the marginal states, and to appreciate them in their artistic dimension beyond their condition. The curator continues: "beyond all conventions, creativity is imposed more than ever. If the public had no references of the origin of this production, they would not realize of the fact that the works were created in psiquiatric hospitals".
"The images of the unconscious are almost a symbolic language that the psychiatrist must decipher. But nobody prevents that those images and signs will be, beyond all, harmonious, seductive, dramatic, live or beautiful, being themselves real works of art".
