Science, Art, and the Unconscious Mind

Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

When Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams in 1900, he initiated the modern exploration of dreams, revealing the unconscious mind to artists and filmmakers. This beautifully designed and illustrated volume commemorates the centenary of Freud's work by examining the evolving roles of dreams in twentieth-century art and science. Throughout the century, scientific research into the psychology and physiology of dreams inspired artists like Odilon Redon, Joan Miró, Jenny Holzer, Ingmar Bergman, and Laurie Anderson to create compelling works rooted in the unconscious. The book features a hundred color and fifty black-and-white illustrations showcasing a diverse range of artistic expressions, including painting, photography, sculpture, video, film, performance, and dance. Lynn Gamwell's opening essay reviews the psychoanalytic understanding of dreams and their artistic interpretations. Ernest Hartmann's essay explores the connections between the somatic and psychological aspects of dreaming and their parallels with creative thought. Donald Kuspit concludes with an assessment of the shift from the mystical views of the nineteenth century to the scientific paradigm of the twentieth century. The volume captures a century of dreamwork, culminating in a "dream archive" that catalogs approximately five hundred examples of twentieth-century art related to dreams.
