Abstract

Freud used art as another royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind, alongside the dream and the joke. He was more interested in utilizing the intuitive knowledge of the creative artist to understand the depths of the human mind than in applying his knowledge of depth psychology to understanding the phenomenon of artistic creativity. The late development of ego psychology has enabled us to go into more detail regarding the mechanisms of creativity and artistic talent. Greenacre saw one aspect of genius as an endowment of greater than average sensitivity to sensory stimulation, with a consequent intensification of experience, and also a widening of it to include not only the primary object, but more peripheral objects related in some degree or fashion to the primary one. Rosen mentioned one stylistic feature of the gifted artist as an unusual capacity to resist the influence of majority decisions on questions of value, particularly of aesthetic value, and that this capacity in many instances originates from early exposures of a special tension between the cognitive experience derived from cultural pressures and the perceptual experience of the individual. Noy defined the talented artist as the one who has several primary means of communication rise to the level of conscious communication to be fully and voluntarily controlled by himself. He also stressed that those extra means the artist is gifted with are not merely additional means, but are qualitatively different from the secondary means used in regular communication, and that this difference bears to their power to transmit an emotional experience rather than an exchange of information.
