Sigmund Freud and art

"Freud had very unique and innovative ideas about the human psyche. His idea about artists says that artists are avant garde psychologists who know the laws which activate the unconscious. Artists want to portray these things that they know, that they have discovered about humans, this something that we all share but may not notice. They reveal it through their art." http://people.virginia.edu/~mm5nb/freud-view-of-art.html
