The connection between modern art and the unconscious mind is largely an untold story. The author identifies two strands in the psychoanalytic conception of the unconscious and shows how they figured in modern art from the surrealists to the abstract expressionists. He then traces a progressive repudiation of unconscious processes in the making of pop, minimal, and conceptual art.
