Abstract
The authors explore the psychic passages that were opened up within a patient, Ada, thanks to her contact with two works of art, Signorelli’s frescoes in Orvieto and Picasso’s painting La Nageuse—their themes, formal structures, and the conventions governing their creation.A work of art can be considered as a kind of window that allows one to look upon the imaginary world created by the artist. One can peer out of this window from the other side, permitting a look at the viewer (the patient), who is caught in a web of associations that are yet to be explored.
