This book is about the contribution of women to the lives of famous
artists. Although women have given so much to these artists, this
selfless contribution has been largely overlooked by art
historians. In trying to redress such a huge imbalance, I have
focused mainly on male painters. As a retired psychiatrist, I could
not write about these artists, and the women who were their
intimate partners, without considering their psychopathology. In
writing about this I have struggled to avoid jargon and to ensure
readability. The main focus is on the relationship between
psychopathology and creativity, with some comments about the
effects of psychiatric treatment on the creative process. The
overall bias of the book is feminist, but my voice here is not
strident. I have tried to comment sensibly on what modern women may
learn from the truly heroic women who are the main focus of this
work.
