Preface by E.H. Gombrich.
1 Introduction. 2 The heroization of the artist in biography. 3 The artist as magician. 4 The special position of the artists in biography
'In this pioneering work, Ernst Kris and Otto Kurz show how the stories told about the lives of artists, in all ages and cultures, reflect a profound human response to the mystery and magic of image making. The book is a combination of enormous learning in the history of art and brilliant psychoanalytic insight.'
