Here I review how the art work reflects the artist’s life and his unconscious, and how the artist relates to his contemporary art situation and his audience. There are three approaches of pathography, ie. fictive, documentary and thematic. I tried to understand Picasso’s u thematically in terms of his aggression and multiple identification. Picasso put his aggression toward his father, his family romance and multiple identification to the art style of cubism and had sublimated it as a creative art. The in functioned as an expression and communication of his latent wishes and emotions, but also functioned as aiding the ego in its effort to order its disparate motives and emotions in order to maintain the integration and cohesion of the Picasso’s unstable self image, ie. act as a complete form. But this pathographical approach only shows Picasso’s conflicts in his art, and couldn’t explain about the aesthetic phenomena between his art and his audience, and disregard the art as a real being in the reality. In a study of the effect of the psychology of the artist on his af, one has to be careful not to made broad interpreted leap. There has been many different approaches of the applied psychoanalysis. I think clinical and applied psychoanalysis can broaden and deepen our understanding about human’s mental phenomena.
