AUTUORI, Sandra  y  RINALDI, Doris. Art in Freud: A study that supports contradictions . Bol. - Acad. Paul. Psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.34, n.87, pp. 299-319. ISSN 1415-711X.

This article is the result of a thorough research of how art appears in the complete works of Freud and to demonstrate that the author supports his theory in a multiplicity of approaches. In some of his writings Freud is concerned with analyzing the artist and his works, in other he focuses on the creative process, and there are still other works where art gives him some valuable advices to the understanding of mental processes. We are based on a quotation from Freud in this "Draft N", entitled 'Fiction and Fine Frenzy' letter of May 31, 1897 to Wilhelm Fliess, to present the hypothesis that it is possible to infer different forms of psychoanalysis relate to art and we have entitled: Author and work: a bond of two-ways where the understanding of the artwork takes on the one hand, through the events of the artist's life and on the other, inferring what is going on in the psyche of the author which appears in his creation; Art, reality and fantasy where the discussion of artistic creation presents the question of psychic reality; Art teaches psychoanalysis when we discovered moments when psychoanalysis is placed in a position of apprentice in relation to art. To these we add one more way in which art appears in Freud's works: The process of artistic creation as seen by psychoanalysis. After examining these possible four subdivisions of Freudian thought about art, instead of proposing to choose between them or emphasize this contradiction in Freud, we chose the position of asserting that art is not reducible to any explanation, nor a form of understanding it, not even that all together are sufficient. We understand with Freud that art is ahead of psychoanalysis and that before the artist, analysis has to lay down its armaments.
