Painting and Our Inner World

More about the book

The book explores the connection between artistic expression and personality by analyzing the artwork of a diverse group of students. Through detailed observation and clinical interviews, the author identifies seven distinct image types that correlate with the participants' inner lives, including their interpersonal relationships, desires, and fears. The findings reveal how different styles—ranging from fluid boldness to inhibited formality—serve as reflections of each individual's emotional landscape, illustrating the complex interplay between art and personal experience.
