All About Bipolar

Posted By atorturedsoul on October 30, 2009

See the art of artists and writers with bipolar disorder or schizoaffective bipolar disorder at Bipolar Artists.

Bipolar disorder has been tied to creativity and there are many who suffer from this illness who are very talented artists or writers. BipolarArtists.com showcases the works of several artists.

The art of eight artists is currently being displayed on Bipolar Artists. You can see their biographies here: http://bipolarartists.com/artistsbios.html

If you are an artist with bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder and would like to have your work showcased on BipolarArtists.com, you can find information here: http://bipolarartists.com/call_for_artists.html

You can see the work of artist Charles Goodloe, who has schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, here:

As you can see, these are talented artists who express their experiences with these illnesses through art.

Everyone knows that Vincent van Gogh suffered from bipolar disorder, but I found other artists who also had bipolar disorder. Did you know that Michelangelo and Georgia O’Keeffe had bipolar disorder? I didn’t, but I found this very interesting.

I have always been drawn to the works of O’Keeffe. I visit Saint Louis, Missouri often and one of her pieces, Dark Abstraction, is on display in the St. Louis Art Museum. You can see the painting here: http://www.slam.org/index.aspx?id=134&obj=42

Speaking of the St. Louis Art Museum, Vincent van Gogh’s Stairway at Auvers is also on display there. You can see it at: http://www.slam.org/index.aspx?id=141&obj=47

Be sure to check out Bipolar Artists and if you happen to go through St. Louis, Missouri, be sure to check out the Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park. Did I mention that they have one of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies panels?
