The nineteenth century grapples with an ogre -- A contemporary Bluebeard story -- Jackson Pollock on the brink of the well: the challenge of figuration -- Conclusion: Vessels are broken and a book opens -- Notes.
Summary: "In The Soul of Art: analysis and creation, Gaillard takes readers on a tour of his own 'gallery of the mind,' examining works of art from through-out history--and prehistory--that have moved, challenged, and changed him. He also explores instances where particular works of art have proven deeply significant in his or his colleagues' understanding of their analyses and their ability to serve as capable guides on the journey toward-awareness."
