Question:

Famous Art in Hospitals?

I was in the hospital recently with a family member and as I was walking around the corridors of the place and I noticed paintings by Kandinsky and other Modern abstract painters. I was wondering have there been any research conducted about certain artworks being more soothing then others for patience? Is there logic behind the art placed in Hospitals?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes, there has been research on art in hospitals. The King's Fund in London published it, I think. The Lancet has also published pieces on art in hospitals.
