In "Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Masterworks of Art and
Film," Harry Trosman demonstrates that a psychoanalytic point of
view can vastly enrich one's understanding and appreciation of
works of art.
Drawing on current psychoanalytic views of the importance of
fantasy, attachment and individuation theory, preoedipal factors in
development, and object relations, Trosman addresses the impact of
psychoanalysis on the understanding of the visual arts, painting,
and film. Vel zquez's "Las Meninas," Giorgione's "The Tempest,"
Rembrandt's self-portraits, and Seurat's "La Grand Jatte" are among
the paintings Trosman analyzes. He also considers such films as
Antonioni's "L'avventura," Welles's "Citizen Kane," Hitchcock's
"Vertigo," and Fellini's "8 1/2." The result is an insightful and
innovative perspective, integrating classical and contemporary
psychoanalytic thought with art and film criticism.
