Rare Symptom

Since several years ago the relation between art and mental disorders has been interesting for psychiatrists. This relation has more importance when understanding famous painters such as Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Louis Wain have had such disorders.Psychotic patients may project their symptoms into their drawings and use paintings as a way to illustrate their special feelings and thoughts. Without them understanding patient’s world and their symptoms is impossible.When hallucinations are too amazing to believe and more persecutor than any pain, and when thoughts are so dispersed which other cannot understand and nevertheless, there is no treatment for these boring symptoms, art and specially painting may be a way to relief them.Lilliputian hallucination is a rare symptom in psychotic patients; a visual type hallucination that things and persons appears smaller than the real size. Patients usually describe them as the persecutor dwarfs or life from another world.Here we introduce a schizophrenic patient with Lilliputian hallucination who created famous paintings. In these paintings, patient was drawn dwarfs in nearly one inch. They are creatures between man and mouse, sometimes whisper and occasionally walk on his head or body.

Edvard Munch

Edvard Munch was a Norwegian painter, printmaker and sculptor, who experimented with photography and film. He is one of the main forerunners of Expressionism, and his painting The Scream (1893) became a universal icon of existentialist fear. He was born in Løten, Norway, in 1863 and died in Oslo in 1944. In 1879 Munch enrolled at a technical college and in 1881 at the Royal School of Art and Design of Christiania, where he took lessons in freehand drawing and modeling. In 1882 he was supervised by the naturalistic painter Christian Krohg, and in 1883 he held his first public exhibition. In 1885 Munch travelled to Paris; some influences of French art were recognizable in the works he presented at his first one-man show in Christiania in 1889. The recognition he received with this exhibition gained him a state scholarship to Paris for the period 1889–92. There he studied under French painter Léon Bonnat and saw works by Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and James Whistler. Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Synthetism influenced his work of this period.

Technical Practice

Paul Gauguin was a Parisian-born French artist who was for a time associated with the Neo-Impressionist and Symbolist movements in painting. Having turned to a career as an artist relatively late, after working as a stockbroker, he became a remarkable presence within the French avant-garde. His activities as an artist fall, broadly, into two professional phases. The first phase of Gauguin’s career is characterized by his work in France up until 1891. During this early part of his career, he became closely linked to the Neo-Impressionist circle and learned his technical practice from painters such as Camille Pissaro (1830–1903). Later on in this period, he famously became acquainted with Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) in a tumultuous and short-lived professional relationship. Towards the end of this phase of activity in France, he became involved with the Symbolist movement through his friendship with the poet Charles Morice (1860–1919). The second phase of Gauguin’s career is characterized by his activities in French Polynesia, where, from 1891 until his death in 1903, he sought to develop a primitivist approach to art based on Polynesian traditions. During this later period, he also produced a significant body of writing on art and his travels.
