The Gallery of Miracles and Madness
Random House,
Charlie English’s narrative history, The Gallery of Miracles and Madness follows the parallel stories of Hans Prinzhorn, an early twentieth century psychiatrist and aesthete, whose collection of mental patients’ art inspired the Modernist movement, and of Adolf Hitler’s crusade against this work, including the “Degenerate Art” show of 1938, which culminated in the first mass murder of the Holocaust.
