this may be impossible to find but does anyone know of art of any kind that has to do with social phobia, anxiety, agoraphobia?

i know that edvard munch (who did the Scream) is said to have had mental disorders including agoraphobia. interpretations of the painting give me chills... also Van gogh had issues but i think he was more suicidal...well obviously... nevermind

I'm quite certain half of the people on deviantart are closet social phobes.

haha, seek i wish i was talented enough to create art that i could stand! i'm going to a gallery today of a friend's boyfriend and she showed me his stuff on there. now i'm addicted. i'm really liking your "insight" (i love old cathedrals!) and "blue is the colour".

I don't know about any Socially Phobic artists etc (though I don't know many artists full stop) but many of Edward Hoppers paintings contain themes (ick) of loneliness and isolation which is kind of related.
