The Creative Unconscious: Studies In The Psychoanalysis Of Art (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432578459)

The Creative Unconscious: Studies In The Psychoanalysis Of Art is a book by Hanns Sachs that explores the relationship between psychoanalysis and art. Sachs, a psychoanalyst and art historian, argues that the creative process is influenced by unconscious impulses and desires that are often repressed or hidden from the conscious mind. He examines the works of artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Rembrandt, and shows how their art reflects their personal struggles and psychological conflicts. The book also delves into the role of dreams, fantasies, and symbolism in the creative process, and how they can be used to understand the deeper meanings of art. Overall, The Creative Unconscious offers a fascinating look into the intersection of psychology and art, and how the two fields can inform and enrich each other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
