In this provocative, closely argued book, Ellen Handler Spitz, explores three principal psychoanalytic approaches to art.

• The first considers the relations between an artist's life and work;
  
• the second focuses on the work of art itself; and
  
• the third encompasses the intricate relations between a work of art and its audience or beholders.

To illustrate her theoretical discussion, Spitz draws on a variety of art forms, including painting, sculpture, literatuere, music and dance.
