NAKASU, Maria Vilela Pinto. Beyond of artist projections: the freudian interpretation circumscribed to the universe of the work of art. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.51, pp.146-158. ISSN 0101-3106.

“The Moses of Michelangelo” (1914) present a kind of non-biographical psychoanalytic interpretation. Different from Leonardo da Vinci’s, Dostoievski’s and Christoph Haizmann’s analysis, in order to his interpretation in “The Moses of Michelangelo” Freud leaves the writer’s biography aside as to elaborate his hypotheses, which gives us contribution to suppose the existence of two styles in Freud’s interpretation of works of art in general: biographical analysis and an analysis circumscribed to the universe of the work of art. The present paper intends to discuss, within a major field than that which is commonly called “applied psychoanalysis”, how far does the criticism tends to reduce psychoanalytic interpretation of art to its complementary pair artist-artwork operates a slight psychological reductionism.
