Explore the art collection put together by two pioneering psychiatrists in the 1930s.
Doctors Eric Guttman and Walter Maclay were psychiatrists working at the Maudsley Hospital in the 1930s and ‘40s. During this time they collected an array of patient art, illustrating their professional interests, including pictures by Louis Wain and the artwork pictured, Basil Beaumont's 'Mescaline Drawing with Snake', part of a series of experiments on drug-induced hallucinations carried out in 1936. This talk will address why and how Guttman and Maclay collected these artworks, many of which are currently on display in the museum.
