An overview of art and psychoanalysis that shows how each field can enrich and enlarge the other. The book discusses the ways in which psychoanalytic insights can explain art and creativity, and some of the quarrels between art historians and psychoanalysts.
Art and Psychoanalysis is a terrific read which combines scholarly commentary and a lively witty tone. Specialists will find plenty of information scattered throughout while the novice will not be overwhelmed by esoteric terms. This book is helped by several brilliant contributions by Bradley Collins to be found in the footnotes. This is one of the best summary type books in a field which is often disappointing.
