Chicago Artist Casmir Mercedes presents a study of the myth of the "Madd Creative Genius" through the paintings legacies of Vincent Vangogh's use of insane colors, Jackson Pollack and his intense escapism through his action paintings, and Jean Michel Basquiat's innovation of "painting with words". Casmir Mercedes carries this tradition of "Madd Art" with her 2007 video titled Manic Depression & Creative Genius as a thesis project.
