(Revista Amar / Inês Schrek) É bem capaz de ser um dos momentos mais marcantes da História da Arte e que deu origem ao famoso autorretrato. Corria o ano de 1888 quando Vincent Van Gogh cortou a própria orelha, naquilo que terá sido um surto psicótico. O museu erguido em Amesterdão, na Holanda, resume bem em salas recheadas de obras – algumas pintadas num hospital psiquiátrico – uma vida à margem de guiões, mergulhada na criatividade e na insanidade. Esquizofrenia, perturbação bipolar, as teorias sobre a doença mental de Van Gogh são várias. Já dizia Aristóteles que não há grandes génios sem uma mistura de loucura. E os exemplos multiplicam-se, em Portugal e lá fora, da pintura à música, da escrita à representação… Read More in Revista Amar >>>
