Umschlag berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Since Freud's classic study of Leonardo, there have been countless efforts to apply psychoanalysis to the work of artists. However, the common interests of psychoanalysts, art historians, and aestheticians have not been systematically explored. In this provocative, closely argued book, Ellen Handler Spitz proposes three principal psychoanalytic approaches to art. Each correlates with a phase in the evolving history of psychoanalytic thought, a major critical mode, and a perennial problem in the philosophy of art. These approaches are based on the context in which interpretation takes place. The first includes the relation between the life experience of the artist and his works; the second focuses on the work of art itself; and the third encompasses the intricate relations between a work of art and its audience. Spitz illustrates her theoretical discussion with examples drawn from a variety of art forms, including the visual arts, literature, music, and dance. The three models, taken together, provide a scaffolding for further interdisciplinary refinement. Yet, with characteristic psychoanalytic skepticism, Spitz also reveals the precariousness of this scaffolding by demonstrating that contexts are more complex, encompassing, and elusive than they appear. As a critical examination of the many ways in which psychoanalysis and aesthetics both intersect and parallel each other, this book is addressed to a wide audience-to clinicians, scholars, teachers, and artists.
