Summary

In this book, Arturo Schwarz (b. 1924) interprets the paintings of Peter Halley, one of today's leading artists, from a psychoanalytic point of view. He also looks at Halley's work in relation to the Cabala and alchemy. The author of several important books on Surrealism and Dadaism, Schwarz is known for his particular blend of critical analysis that incorporates Tantric art, prehistoric and tribal art, and Eastern art and philosophy. As Schwarz comments, "For Peter Halley, art attains the dimensions of a religion, if we return to the original meaning of the term religio: bringing together, connecting that which is separated. In other words, on the one hand, healing the fracture of one's split personality, and on the other, bridging the gap that separates one from one's kin".
