Artist Illness and Creativity​

By Dr. James Grant​

Dear Members and Guests,

We invite you to join us for a lecture given by Dr. James Grant on ‘Artist's Illness and Creativity​' in the Atrium on Tuesday 9th February 2027 at 20.00 hours.

It is well known that both physical and psychological illness can affect the creative process. Both can act as a stimulus but illness can also act as a major modifying influence on an artist’s perception of the world and on an artist’s creative output. This lecture seeks to explore this relationship in artists such as Durer, Goya, Monet, and Kahlo in an endeavour to understand better how different illnesses impacted on their genius.

We are hoping that Members and Guests will take the opportunity to come to the Atrium.  

For those unable to be present at the Atrium, this lecture will also be streamed via Zoom, but only to those who registered in advance.

You are requested to sign up for the lecture beforehand, also if you are coming to join us in person at the Atrium, by clicking on the sentence at the 'How to book' section.
