Those Monomaniacs We Love | New collection on ARTS.FILM

Image from the film Keith Haring, le petit prince de la rue

(He or she) who is dominated by an obsession, a fixed idea. From Andy Warhol’s silkscreens to Yayoi Kusama’s dots, from Keith Haring’s lines to the thousand objects collected in The Five Minute Museum, there is always a single trait: a monomania that rhymes with genius. From Elizabeth King and her fascination with automatons to Glenn Gould and his unconditional devotion to the piano, many creators are touched by this grace. Without romanticizing the figure of the artist living with excess or trivializing the deep sufferings of some of the greatest, this collection aims to honor those who, through their obsessions, open new pathways by exploring previously unknown territories.ç
