Taking Freud's seminal essay A Childhood Memory of Leonardo da
Vinci as his starting point and opposite, Hubert Damisch uses the
preposition 'by' instead of 'of' in the title of his book to
indicate that he is searching for a way of doing psychoanalysis
with art that does not amount to psychobiography. The book is in
some respects a parody of Freud's work on art. The return to Freud
was necessary because work in psychoanalysis and art has not solved
the problem of what is being analyzed. Damisch studies Piero della
Francesca's painting Madonna del Parto as a construction by the
artist of what viewers throughout history may have pursued on the
basis of their unconscious fantasies involving what Freud
considered the most characteristic question of human beings: where
do children come from, and how did they get there?
