| Abstract | ||
| It is paradoxical that the relation between genius and mental illness is clearer than the relation between genius and intelligence and more mysterious at the same time. The relation between psychological suffering and creative ability has been emphasized for centuries; As the Greek philosopher Aristotle said, “No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.” Perhaps Vincent van Gogh is the most famous example of a creative genius who was mentally ill. This research deals with an analysis of the works of the artist "Van Gogh" through his psychological crises and the limits of research in Europe in the twentieth century. It follows the historical-analytical approach based on analyzing the works of the artist "Van Gogh" and sheds light on his upbringing, which had a role in his suffering, and discusses some of his disorders that explain the reasons for his technical treatments of line, shape and color in his artworks, which led to identifying research problems in The library's scarcity of research and studies that help interpret artworks according to the artist's psychological state. | ||
