Louise Bourgeois dies at 98

Click Here to Read: Louise Bourgeois dies at 98; revered artist’s work was a ‘form of psychoanalysis’: A fearless creative force whose work could be disturbing and perversely witty, she got little attention from the art world until her seventh decade, when she became its grande dame.

Psychoanalysts as Artists: Mervin Stewart

Tamar Schwartz — Wed, 26 May 2010 20:18:07 +0000

Psychoanalysts are known for their sensitivity to the suffering, conflicts, and inhibitions of their patients. What is less well known is that many are also sensitive and talented artists. To provide a forum for that expression and an opportunity for sharing those visions and talents with others, there was an exhibit entitled “The artistry of Psychoanalysts” which was held at the winter meetings of the American Psychoanalytic Association in New York at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. The show was open to Members, Affiliates, and Associates of the American and Members of the IPA and IPSO and included photographs, paintings, watercolors, and collages. I am very grateful for the opportunity to give each of the artists more exposure on the International Psychoanalysis.net. One piece from the show will be shown each week and, as you will see, we have a lot of talent among us. –Jon Meyer
