    Notes:

    Often derided as unscientific and self-indulgent, psychoanalysis has been an invaluable resource for artists, art critics and historians throughout the twentieth century. 'Art and Psychoanalysis' investigates these encounters. The dynamics of the dream-work, Freud's 'familiar unfamiliar', fetishism, visual mastery, abjection, repetition, and the death drive are explored through detailed analysis of artists ranging from Max Ernst to Louise Bourgeois, including 1980s postmodernists such as Cindy Sherman, installation artists such as Mike Kelley and post-minimalist sculpture. Innovative and disturbing, 'Art and Psychoanalysis' investigates key psychoanalytic concepts to reveal a dynamic relationship between art and psychoanalysis which goes far beyond interpretation. There is no cure for the artist - but art can reconcile us to the traumatic nature of human experience, converting the sadistic impulses of the ego towards domination and war into a masochistic ethics of responsibility and desire

    In 1901, the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens proclaimed in a letter to Will Low, "Health—is the thing!" Though recently diagnosed with intestinal cancer, Saint-Gaudens was revitalized by recreational sports, having realized mid-career "there is something else in life besides the four walls of an ill-ventilated studio." Health and Illness in American Gilded-Age Art puts such moments center stage to consider the role of health and illness in the way art was produced and consumed. It is the first study to address the place of organic disease—cancer, tuberculosis, syphilis—in the life and work of Gilded-Age artists. It demonstrates how well-known works of art were marked by disease, arguing that art itself functioned in medicinal terms for artists and viewers in the late nineteenth century. Not merely beautiful or entertaining objects, works of art could function as balm for the ill, providing relief from physical suffering and pain. Art did so by blunting the edges of contagious disease through a process of visual translation. In painting, for instance, hacking coughs, bloody sputum and bodily enervation were recast as signs of spiritual elevation and refinement for the tuberculous, who were shown with a pale, chalky pallor that signalled rarefied beauty rather than an alarming indication of death. Works of art thus redirected the experience of illness in an era prior to the life-saving discoveries that would soon become hallmarks of modern medical science to offer an alternate therapy.

    This book focuses on externalist approaches to art. It is the first fruit of a workshop held in Milan in September 2009, where leading scholars in the emerging field of psychology of art compared their different approaches using a neutral language and discussing freely their goals. The event threw up common grounds for future research activities. First, there is a considerable interest in using cognitive and neural inspired techniques to help art historians, museum curators, art archiving, art preservation. Secondly, cognitive scientists and neuroscientists are rather open to using art as a special way of accessing the structures of the mind. Third, there are artists who explicitly draw inspiration out of current research on various aspects of the mind. Fourth, during the workshop, a converging methodological paradigm emerged around which more specific efforts could be encouraged.

    The aesthetic -- The nature of art -- The theory of evolution -- How might the aesthetic, art, and evolution be related? -- Humans' aesthetic appreciation of nonhuman animals -- Landscape aesthetics -- The aesthetics of human beauty -- General theories of art as an adaptation and the origins of art -- Art as a spandrel -- Art as a technology -- Arts as adaptations

    Stephen Davies explores the idea that art, and our aesthetic sensibilities more generally, should be understood as an element in human evolution. He asks: Do animals have aesthetics? Do our aesthetic preferences have prehistoric roots? Is art universal? What is the biological role of aesthetic and artistic behaviour?
