Abstract

In the hundred years since Sigmund Freud published his paper on Leonardo da Vinci, psychoanalysis and art theory have been developing along parallel trajectories. Where once psychoanalysis focused on the motivational conflicts of the creative artist and art history focused on the artist’s product, both fields have today converged on the study of creativity as a process. On March 19, 2011, the Postgraduate Psychoanalytic Society and Institute hosted the conference, “Psychoanalysis, art and creativity: Dialogues on the creative process”. The speakers were Harold Blum, M.D., Rosalind Krauss, Ph.D., and Joseph Lichtenberg, M.D. Their three presentations are included in this volume. The Introductory Remarks put these papers into historical context and trace their common ground while challenging the boundaries of both disciplines.
