Schlumpers

Published on 2001 by Springer / Birkhauser
The Schlumpers, a Hamburg-based group of mentally handicapped artists working under the guidance of painter Rolf Laute, have produced remarkable artistic work. That work, presented here for the first time, brings new relevance to the question of the origin and creation of art. It is the unconventional form and the power of expression that fascinates: totally unexpected and astounding, the creative power of these artists, some with the severest of handicaps. Their condition differs greatly from that of psychotics, whose artistic work has already been studied extensively, and from this point of view, the book represents the first publication on the artistic work of the mentally handicapped.
