His interest, unique at the time, lay as much in their value as art as in their importance for the study of mental illness. Works from his collection were viewed at the time in relation to early Expressionnist art, and later became a source of inspiration to many artists of the avant-garde, including Jean Dubuffet, Max Ernst and the Surrealists.
The works, all created between 1890 and 1920, sprang from patients’ urgent need to impose order on chaos, to communicate, from a ‘drive towards expression’ as Prinzhorn put it. Particular themes and motifs recur in the works : mechanical inventions ; religious images ; sexual fantasies ; obsessive patterning on paper and in embroidery ; fantastic beasts ; intricate internal and external worlds. By the 1930s, when the Nazis declared such work ‘degenerate’, the Collection itself has fallen in to disrepair. Only in recent years has it been retrieved and restored. The images provide a fascinating insight in to the nature of artistic expression and the links between creativity, rationality and illness – compelling subjects which remain intensely relevant to this day. The Prinzhorn Collection is kept by the Psychiatric Institute of the University of Heidelberg, Germany."
