Mary Bergstein : Mirrors of Memory. Freud, Photography and the History of Art

Verlagstext:

Photographs shaped the view of the world in turn-of-the-century Central Europe, bringing images of everything from natural and cultural history to masterpieces of Greek sculpture into homes and offices. Sigmund Freud’s library—no exception to this trend—was filled with individual photographs and images in books. According to Mary Bergstein, these photographs also profoundly shaped Freud’s thinking in ways that were no less important because they may have been involuntary and unconscious.In Mirrors of Memory, lavishly illustrated with reproductions of the photos from Freud’s voluminous collection, she argues that studying the man and his photographs uncovers a key to the origins of psychoanalysis.
