Description
Summary:Stroke is a terrible disease conditioning in an important manner the lives of patients. Recovery is, often, very laborious. The cases of six well-known artists who suffered it are presented and also their efforts to defeat it. Patobiographic data of the painters C.F. Friedrich, L. Krasner and C. Close, poet and artist G. Apollinaire, the film director and cartoonist F. Fellini and actor K. Douglas are discussed. The vital changes introduced by a such process, the strength to recover and the post-stroke artwork production are commented. The artists' premorbid personality influenced notably the recovery. These artists faced to the disease and with their masterpieces also bequeathed to the posterity their examples of courage.
