Featured MHSN News

MHSN has given you an option to voice your preference to discussing mental health. You can now choose between the original website found at .me or this site at .com. If both sites remain popular then both sites will remain, but if one site sees no posts and the other lots of posts then the least busy site will be archived forever. So you now need to vote with your fingers and show which site you prefer by posting on it.

Featured Artist

Martín Ramírez (1895–1963) created nearly 300 drawings of remarkable visual clarity and expressive power within the confines of DeWitt State Hospital in northern California, where he resided the last 15 years of his life. Ramírez has been codified primarily as a “schizophrenic artist”; this project goes beyond the boundaries of Ramirez’s diagnosis of mental illness and considers the artistic quality and merit of his artwork. In this way, Ramirez’s works are understood—and appreciated—for the complex, multilayered drawings that they are. “Martin Ramirez,” the first major retrospective of the self-taught master in more than 20 years, features approximately 97 works on paper and is accompanied by a full-color catalog.
