About how art collections featuring art by mental patients inspired modern art. In 1906, psychiatrist Dr. Morgenthaler at the Waldau Mental Hospital in Bern, Switzerland, began collecting and photographing paintings, drawings, and other items designed by his patients. A certain Dr. Prinzorn did the same thing in Heidelberg, Germany. These collections became an important part of the chain that has been the inspiration for modern art.
