Ismond Rosen Display
Tuesday 1 December 2009 - Sunday 21 March 2010

Ismond Rosen, 1924-1996, was a distinguished psychoanalyst,
psychiatrist and artist who worked tirelessly throughout his
lifetime to produce a vast body of written and artistic work.
His creation of sketches, sculptures, poetry and fictional
writings, alongside his psychoanalytical practice and
psychiatric research, have cemented Rosen's reputation as a pioneer
in the synthesis of science and art. This exhibition focuses
on work from Rosen's intensely creative period during the 1970s,
when his synthesis of art and science was at its strongest. Several
of Rosen's metal sculptures are displayed alongside archival
material taken from his psychoanalytical research and
sketchbooks.
The display offers an introduction to a prolific and pioneering
individual who demonstrates a unique exploration of the creative
process.
