Picasso's Brain

Autor Christine Temple
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 dec 2016
Where does creativity come from? Are some people simply born to be a creative genius?

In Picasso's Brain, eminent neuropsychologist Christine Temple navigates a wide range of factors from the scientific (visual memory, spatial ability, brain functions) to the environmental (the 'mad genius' myth, and Gladwell's 10,000 hours of practice) in her fascinating study of what contributes to creativity.

Using Pablo Picasso as her model, she investigates the unique combination of factors that made Picasso a creative genius. Was it down to his playful mindset or his passion in relationships? Could genetic traits mean he inherited and passed on his skills? Did he perceive the world in a different way to others, or was he simply single-minded in his focus?

Ranging from hard science to art history, Picasso's Brain is an unprecedented insight into creativity as a vast web of elements that inform and affect each other. Temple highlights the key traits that matter (and identifies the ones that don't) and links the scientific with the personal to show just what makes a person extraordinarily creative.

Christine Temple was a respected neuroscientist at Essex University who was instrumental in the emergence of the field of developmental cognitive neuropsychology. This book grew from both her psychological research interests and her passion for art - she was a collector of Picasso prints. Christine died in 2014, aged 56.
