More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Four essays on the psychological aspects of art. A study of Leonardo treats the work of art, and art itself, not as ends in themselves, but rather as instruments of the artist's inner situation. Two other essays discuss the relation of art to its epoch and specifically the relation of modern art to our own time. An essay on Chagall views this artist in the context of the problems explored in the other studies.

First Sentence
In any attempt to come closer to the personality of Leonardo da Vinci, it will be well to bear in mind the words of Jakob Burckhardt: "The colossal outlines of Leonardo's nature can never be more than dimly and distantly conceived." Read the first page

Whoever loves Leonardo and his world will enjoy this book. Relating life to creativeness from a psychoanalytical point of view is probably more interesting for the lay reader or for the creative person than an actual psychotherapy.
Get new insights into pictures that you know very well. It's not speculative, it's deeply human and common sense.
Psychoanalysis, since Freud, and here at its best, might be above all a critical view of our society, rather than a therapy: that's at least my stand.
