Ernest Becker Quotes
In Jung's Terms-that We Noted Previously-the Work Is The Artist's Own Transference Projection, And He Knows That Consciously And Critically. Whatever He Does He Is Stuck With Himself, Can't Get Securely Outside And Beyond Himself. He Is Also Stuck With The Work Of Art Itself. Like Any Material Achievement It Is Visible, Earthly, Impermanent. No Matter How Great It Is, It Still Pales In Some Ways Next To The Transcending Majesty Of Nature; And So It Is Ambiguous, Hardly A Solid Immortality Symbol. In His Greatest Genius Man Is Still Mocked. No Matter That Historically Art And Psychosis Have Had Such An Intimate Relationship, That The Road To Creativity Passes So Close To The Madhouse And Often Detours Or Ends There. The Artist And The Madman Are Trapped By Their Own Fabrications; They Wallow In Their Own Anality, In Their Protest That They Really Are Something Special In Creation.
