Abstract
Creativity is a physiological function in humans, but certain people have an « extraordinary » creativity, including in art. Brain processes, which underlie creativity, remain poorly known, but recent research suggests a global cerebral activity, during which disinhibition, free associations, and plastic reconstruction may mainly involve frontal regions and tertiary parietal areas. Neurological diseases in artists allow to address relationships between brain and art, in painters (de Kooning, Manet…), writers (Larbaud, Baudelaire…) or musicians (Mussorgski, Donizetti…). Style changes after a brain lesion is particularly interesting, but must be addressed with caution, given the fact that style may also evolve in many artists without any neurological disease. The role of physical pain and moral suffering also appears critical in numerous artistic creative processes.
