| Summary |
"No one who is concerned with the psychoanalytic study of art can afford to neglect [this book]; no one who cares about the art of psychoanalysis should ignore it." --Aaron H. Esman, M.D., Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association |
|
"This book ... should prove fascinating to all who are concerned with works of art as expressions of the human mind and heart." --Shehira Davezac, Hospital and Community Psychiatry |
|
"This book is highly recommended to all who enjoy the multiple applications of analytic thought to extend our senses." --Jay Lefer, Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis |
|
In this provocative, closely argued book, Ellen Handler Spitz explores three principal psychoanalytic approaches to art. The first considers the relations between an artist's life and work; the second focuses on the work of art itself; and the third encompasses the intricate relations between a work of art and its audience or beholders. To illustrate her theoretical discussion, Spitz draws on a variety of art forms, including painting, sculpture, literature, music, and dance |
