Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Leonardo da Vinci written by Sigmund Freud and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sigmund Freud was already internationally acclaimed as the principal founder of psychoanalysis when he turned his attention to the life of Leonardo da Vinci. It remained Freud’s favourite composition. Compressing many of his insights into a few pages, the result is a fascinating picture of some of Freud’s fundamental ideas, including human sexuality, dreams, and repression. It is an equally compelling – and controversial – portrait of Leonardo and the creative forces that according to Freud lie behind some of his great works, including the Mona Lisa. With a new foreword by Maria Walsh.

Download or read book Art History written by Kelly Mass and published by Efalon Acies. This book was released on 2023-12-29 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the aesthetic facets and visual expressions within historical and stylistic frameworks constitutes the field of study known as art history. Traditionally centered on mediums like painting, drawing, sculpture, architecture, pottery, and decorative arts, art history has evolved to encompass a broader spectrum of visual culture. This expansion involves delving into the diverse visual and intellectual implications arising from the ever-evolving definition of art. The canvas of art history is vast, encompassing creations from various civilizations worldwide, spanning epochs, all unified by a predominant reliance on visual representations to convey meaning, value, or utility. Distinguishing itself from art criticism and art theory (or "philosophy of art"), art history takes on a unique role. While art criticism evaluates artistic worth and sanctions styles or movements, and art theory delves into the fundamental nature of art, art history utilizes historical methods. It seeks to unravel the mysteries behind artistic creations by addressing questions such as the artist's motivations, patrons, influences, and the socio-political backdrop that shaped both the artist and the creation. These inquiries extend to understanding the artist's impact on artistic, political, and social trajectories. Yet, the distinction between art history and art philosophy often poses challenges to a comprehensive exploration. The current disciplinary divide occasionally impedes the investigation, as many fundamental queries about the nature of art overlap with historical inquiries. The blurred boundaries prompt debates on whether addressing the historical context can effectively answer questions about the intrinsic nature of art. Art history emerges as an interdisciplinary pursuit, considering an array of variables that influence the visual appearance of artwork. Beyond the artist's individual creativity, factors such as cultural, political, religious, economic, and societal influences come under scrutiny. This interdisciplinary approach enriches the study, providing a holistic understanding of the intricate tapestry that weaves together the visual narratives of diverse civilizations across time.

Book excerpt: Painting, Psychoanalysis, and Spirituality examines the spiritual and transcendental dimension of painting.

Newton shows how painting can psychologically transform the artist or viewer through engagement with the spiritual dimension of the art work through analyses of works of contemporary artists such as Roger Hilton, Willem de Kooning, and Georg Baselitz, along with those of icon painters Fra Angelico, Leonardo, Nicholas Poussin, and Cézanne, among others.
Download or read book Art History written by IntroBooks and published by IntroBooks. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What we know of Art History today actually has its roots back to the 19th century, but what the study is about, dates back to the ancient world. The art historians depend on the semiotics, formal analysis, iconography and psychoanalysis for understanding the history of a piece of art. After the World War II when photographic imitation and printing techniques improved, reproduction of artworks became easier. Technologies as such have tremendously helped the study of Art History to progress in profound ways, as they have facilitated easy evaluation of objects. Thus, the study of visual arts can be described as a practice that involves understanding social significance, context and form of art.

Download or read book Art and Psychoanalysis written by Maria Walsh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often derided as unscientific and self-indulgent, psychoanalysis has been an invaluable resource for artists, art critics and historians throughout the twentieth century. Art and Psychoanalysis investigates these encounters. The shared relationship to the unconscious, severed from Romantic inspiration by Freud, is traced from the Surrealist engagement with psychoanalytic imagery to the contemporary critic's use of psychoanalytic concepts as tools to understand how meaning operates. Following the theme of the 'object' with its varying materiality, Walsh develops her argument that psychoanalysis, like art, is a cultural discourse about the mind in which the authority of discourse itself can be undermined, provoking ambiguity and uncertainty and destabilising identity. The dynamics of the dream-work, Freud's 'familiar unfamiliar', fetishism, visual mastery, abjection, repetition, and the death drive are explored through detailed analysis of artists ranging from Max Ernst to Louise Bourgeois, including 1980s postmodernists such as Cindy Sherman, the performance art of Marina Abramovic and post-minimalist sculpture. Innovative and disturbing, Art and Psychoanalysis investigates key psychoanalytic concepts to reveal a dynamic relationship between art and psychoanalysis which goes far beyond interpretation. There is no cure for the artist - but art can reconcile us to the traumatic nature of human experience, converting the sadistic impulses of the ego towards domination and war into a masochistic ethics of responsibility and desire.
