Jean Cocteau, Georg Schmidt, Hans Steck
The life and work of the three “mental patients” Aloyse, Jules and Jean.
It is not the purpose of this book to prove anything, but to afford an insight into the wonders hidden in the depths of the human soul. The remarkable sifts displayed here by three psychotic patients open up to us a realm of weird poetry- a realm which the poet and the scientist, the art historian and the physician each strives in his own way to make acces-sible. Disease itself then fades into insignificance before man's astonishing creative energy.
To bear witness to the primaeval spirit of humanity is the sole aim of this pictorial album.
