Artistic Patterns in Dementia
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2005, Vol 22, Issue 3
Abstract
In this review, artistic patterns, especially those in visual arts are discussed in three main types of dementia, namely Alzheimer disease, Lewy body dementia and fronto-temporal dementia. In the contrary to other cognitive losses, the emergence of new artistic patterns may be encountered in dementias. In AD, there may be a tendency toward surrealistic, formless artistry, whereas in LBD visual hallucinations may provide a source for the creativity and in FTD, a more detailed, precise, colorful, compulsive painting may be seen.
