Art and aging.

Full Abstract

The study explores the process of aging in artists as reflected in their creative output after the age of 60. Additionally, a wide range of artists who died young are also included, as their late work, i.e. the work of their last years of life, is very similar to the late work of their older colleagues. Therefore, it is quite right to describe it as work done later in life (in relation to their age). Copyright 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel.
