Artistry of the Mentally Ill was a 1922 book by psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn, and is famous for being the work that launched the study of psychiatric art. It was the first attempt to analyze the drawings of the mentally ill not merely psychologically, but also aesthetically.
In the book, Prinzhorn presents the works of ten "schizophrenic masters" from the Heidelberg collection, with in-depth aesthetic analysis of each and also full-color reproductions of their work. These ten masters were:
- Karl Brendel
- August Klotz
- Peter Moog
- August Neter
- Johann Knüpfer
- Viktor Orth
- Hermann Beil
- Heinrich Welz
- Joseph Sell
- Franz Pohl
