The authors analyze the correlation between delirium and creation in the life of Brazilian plastic artist Arthur Bispo do Rosario. He was consigned to a psychiatric hospital in his early thirties and in that asylum, Bispo created his entire work. What kind of relationship is there between a delirious discourse and the creation of an (art) object? And, what kind of role does the work of art play for the subject? Can it replace his delirium, or does it reinforce it?
