Definition
- Historically, there has been a strong connection between the visual arts and mental illness. Public conceptions of mental illness have some foundational roots in the visual arts that originate from the artist's rendering of what mental illness looks like externally, reflecting the belief that individuals with mental illness look different than others in society.
