"Valetudo: Art and Healing in Provence" Exhibition
SVA Flatiron Gallery
This event has ended.
This exhibition features works made by psychiatric patients at the Maison de Santé Saint-Paul in the French town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Saint-Paul is known by art historians the world over as the hospital where Vincent Van Gogh committed himself in the late 19th century, and the place where he made some of his most recognized works. With a selection of recent paintings and testimonials from present-day Saint-Paul patients, the exhibition documents the enduring role that creative expression plays in the healing process of artists and non-artists alike. Presented by the MPS Art Therapy Department, in partnership with the Valetudo Association.
