Declaring that dreams are doorways to the unconscious mind, Freud opened a new realm for artists and filmmakers, who began looking inward to a new muse. Written to commemorate the centenary of Freud s classic work, this lavishly illustrated book examines the shifting roles that dreams have played in twentieth-century art and science. Over the course of the century, as scientists researched the psychology and physiology of dreams, artists from Odilon Redon and Joan Miro to Mark Rothko and Akira Kurosawa created dramatic images centered in the unconscious. An exploration of this artistic output, this volume features 100 color and 50 black-and white illustrations depicting works by a broad range of artists in painting, photography, sculpture, artists' books, video, film, performance, and dance. In her opening essay, Lynn Gamwell reviews the psychoanalytic understanding of dreams and explores the ways in which Freud's theories, as well as those of his followers and critics, have been inter pitted artistically. Ernest Hartmann traces attempts to link somatic and psychological dimensions of dreaming and finds parallels between diese dimensions and creative thought. In the final essay, Donald Kuspit assesses the results of moving from a nineteenth-century mystical outlook to a twentieth-century scientific paradigm for the human mind. A century of dream work is captured in this stunning volume. which concludes with a dream archive - an illustrated appendix that lists more than 1000 examples of twentieth century art about dreams.
