It questions the influence of institutional psychiatry on the interpretation of this art and highlights the connection between the interest in 'insane' art and outsider art and the avant-garde movement. The article examines the historical context of interpreting this art, including the influence of degenerationism and primitivism. It critiques the idea that art therapy is universally beneficial for individuals with schizophrenia and analyzes the works of four authors who have contributed to the study of this art. The article raises concerns about the validity and implications of interpreting the art of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, emphasizing the need for a broader understanding of the factors contributing to mental illness.
