Therefore, the argument is set forth through citing some examples in the history of art and through the dialectic analysis of what diseases mean to painters.Part II expounds the impact of diseases on painters and their art form two aspects. On the one hand, the painter understands diseases much better than before, for he has suffered a lot from them physically and mentally. On the other hand, his mental state determining the artistic form is based on the impact of diseases on his mind.
