Native Savant Talent and Acquired Skill / Linda PRING in Autism, 1-2 (November 1997)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 1-2 (November 1997) . - p.199-214 Titre : Native Savant Talent and Acquired Skill Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Linda PRING, Auteur ; Beate HERMELIN, Auteur ; Michael BUHLER, Auteur ; Iain WALKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.199-214 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The paper represents an attempt to evaluate the effect of professional art training on savant artistic ability, and focuses on the work of the artist Stephen Wiltshire. It was undertaken jointly by two of Stephen's own tutors at art school and the two principal authors. The context of the research was, by its nature, not experimental but attempted to look at possible artistic and technical developments in relation to characteristics of autistic savant abilities. Savant ability has often been regarded as a fixed entity which cannot be accounted for solely in terms of continuous practice. There have however been few reports of the effect of expert tuition. As the young savant artist investigated here had previously almost exclusively used line drawing, and had rarely employed tonal values (shading), this dimension was focused upon as giving a possible indication of the effectiveness of teaching. In addition, structured interviews concerned with a detailed analysis of Stephen's work showed that although there was considerable progress during his college attendance, autism also appeared to set limits to Stephen's artistic development in regard to artistic intentions and subject agenda.

A Visually Impaired Savant Artist: Interacting Perceptual and Memory Representations / Beate HERMELIN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40-7 (October 1999)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 40-7 (October 1999) . - p.1129-1139 Titre : A Visually Impaired Savant Artist: Interacting Perceptual and Memory Representations Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Beate HERMELIN, Auteur ; Linda PRING, Auteur ; Michael BUHLER, Auteur ; Sula WOLFF, Auteur ; Pamela HEATON, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Article en page(s) : p.1129-1139 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic disorder  art  Idiot Savants  memory  visual handicap Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this single case study, paintings by a visually impaired and cognitively handicapped savant artist are evaluated. He paints his pictures exclusively from memory, either after having looked at a natural scene through binoculars, or after studying landscape photographs in brochures, catalogues, and books. The paintings are compared with the models from which they were derived, and the resulting generative changes are accounted for by an interaction between impaired visual input and memory transformations.
