This book also focuses attention on factors in the personality that block creativity, and examines the matter of the self and its ability to be present and exist as the essential element in creativity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing examples primarily from visual art\u003cb\u003e David Levine\u003c\/b\u003e explores the subjects of creativity, empathy, interpretation and thinking through a series of case studies of artists, including Robert Irwin, Ad Reinhardt, Susan Burnstine, and Mark Rothko. \u003ci\u003ePsychoanalytic Studies of Creativity, Greed and Fine Art\u003c\/i\u003e explores the highly ambivalent attitude of artists toward making their presence known, an ambivalence that is evident in their hostility toward interpretation as a way of knowing. This is discussed with special reference to Susan Sontag’s essay on the subject of interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsychoanalytic Studies of Creativity, Greed and Fine Art contributes to a long tradition of psychoanalytically influenced writing on creativity including the work of Deri, Kohut, Meltzer, Miller and Winnicott among others.
