Psychological Aesthetics: Painting, Feeling and Making Sense


Add your own review!

Overview

This text analyses the questions which are at the core of the nature of artistic appreciation and the creative process. It re-evaluates traditional philosophical and psychoanalytic approaches to aesthetics, arguing that they fail to take into account the relationship of artist, art work and audience. Maclagan stresses the significance of the complex material qualities of paintings, drawing on the ideas of archetypal psychology and post-structuralist theories on the relationship between inner and outer worlds.
