Janet Sayers, 'Chaos contained: Art, psychoanalysis and Adrian Stokes'

In this seminar Janet Sayers will draw on material from her recently published biography of the art critic, Adrian Stokes. In particular she will focus on philosophical and emotional factors contributing to Stokes's emphasis on art as emblem of the realisation of inner life in outer Form; on his psychoanalytic treatment by Melanie Klein; and on his subsequent psychoanalytic account of art in ways which prefigure today's psychoanalytic attention to chaos and its containment.
