41. The Case of the Wolf-Man by Sigmund Freud, with art by Jim Dine
The Case of the Wolf-Man by Sigmund Freud, with an introduction by Richard Wollheim and with five etchings and six woodcuts by Jim Dine, 1993.
Of Freud's case histories, that of the Wolf-Man, under the title "From
the History of an Infantile Neurosis", is the most famous, not only
for its importance to the development of Freud's thought but also for the
grip upon public imagination that it holds to this day. It was written in
the winter of 1914-15, shortly after termination of a treatment that had
begun in 1910. The subject, the son of a wealthy Russian landowner, was
tormented by a childhood dream of white wolves sitting staring at him from
the bare branches of a tree outside his bedroom window in winter. This and
other vivid images released by the psychoanalysis are used by Dine. Jim
Dine is an artist of international stature. His paintings, sculpture, drawings,
and prints are in the collections of major museums throughout the world.
The introductory essay by the philosopher and art historian Richard Wollheim
reviews the story of the Wolf-Man and considers the significance of
this case for Freud, his followers, and critics.
