Abstract :
This research explains further detail on the
connection between modern art and neuropsychological
and neurological disorders, concentrating on how artist's
mental health problems influence their creativity. Using
the qualitative approach such as a survey and face to face
interview, we identified the varying perspectives related
to the evolution of art including its relationship with
mental health. This study suggests that neurological
disorders may have something to do with an artist's art
pieces as they portray the depth of emotions and
uncommon perspectives that an ordinary person cannot
see. It also reveals the central idea for understanding the
connection between the disabled mind of an artist and
their art. This study also explores the understanding and
appreciation of modern art.
