"On Fine Art"
An E-Zine of StudioPatrice.com


The 1999 First World Symposium
on Culture, Health, and the Arts

Survey Results on the Effects of Art on Medical Outcomes


Although results are limited, Ulrich said it is possible to suggest the following preliminary research-informed guidelines for choosing psychologically appropriate art to serve a therapeutic purpose in health care settings: the art should be obviously positive; the images in the art should be recognizable, and depth in the picture seems to be important; impressionistic art is acceptable as long as it is identifiable, but chaotic and abstract art should be avoided; nature scenes should be sunny, with green vegetation rather than brown; if people are represented, they should exhibit unambiguously positive facial expressions and gestures that are caring or nurturing.

See the complete preliminary survey results at the JAMA website
in an article entitled "The Arts of Healing"

Further Articles and views on fine art will be available in the near future.
