Picasso good at drawing because he was bad at read and write?

Men with dyslexia and writing often succeed in painting or creativity, according to a recent study by scientists at Middlesex University (UK).


The results of this study may help explain why both Leonardo Da Vinci and Pablo Picasso have dyslexia and writing since childhood, but it seems that this disease has caused them to become geniuses in the field of painting.

Scientists at Middlesex University (UK) conducted an assessment of the figurative spatial thinking ability of 41 volunteers (including men and women) through tests conducted by the research team. design. About a quarter of the participants were suffering from dyslexia and dyslexia.

The results showed that men with dyslexia and writing performed better than normal men. Men with dyslexia and dyslexia also have the ability to identify a place on a 3D virtual map faster and more accurately.

The research team explained that people with dyslexia often tend to develop visual space to compensate for their language problems.

Dr. Nicola Brunswick , head of the study, said in the Daily Mail newspaper: ' Many people with dyslexia and writing prefer to solve problems by thinking and acting rather than verbally. This may help explain why men with dyslexia often develop different types of skills to help them succeed in the creative and artistic fields . '

Even so, the team found that women with dyslexia do not have the ability to think figuratively better than ordinary women. This reflects why men often dominate the field of fine arts and 3D imagery.

The world famous artists like Da Vinci, Picasso, Rodin and Andy Warhol all suffer from dyslexia. In addition, famous inventors in physics such as Thomas Edison and Michael Faraday also suffer from this disease.
