Throughout the history of psychoanalysis, the study of creativity
and fine art has been a special concern. Psychoanalytic Studies of
Creativity, Greed and Fine Art: Making Contact with the Self makes
a distinct contribution to the psychoanalytic study of art by
focusing attention on the relationship between creativity and
greed. This book also focuses attention on factors in the
personality that block creativity, and examines the matter of the
self and its ability to be present and exist as the essential
element in creativity. Using examples primarily from visual art
David Levine explores the subjects of creativity, empathy,
interpretation and thinking through a series of case studies of
artists, including Robert Irwin, Ad Reinhardt, Susan Burnstine, and
Mark Rothko. Psychoanalytic Studies of Creativity, Greed and Fine
Art explores the highly ambivalent attitude of artists toward
making their presence known, an ambivalence that is evident in
their hostility toward interpretation as a way of knowing. This is
discussed with special reference to Susan Sontag's essay on the
subject of interpretation. Psychoanalytic Studies of Creativity,
Greed and Fine Art contributes to a long tradition of
psychoanalytically influenced writing on creativity including the
work of Deri, Kohut, Meltzer, Miller and Winnicott among others. It
will be of interest to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic
psychotherapists, historians and theorists of art.
