Abstract

In the world of art, gender, race and social class issues were ignored traditionally and it was assumed there is a kind of human that is universal, historical, without sex and is male and white of course. From this perspective, woman was only as the subject of artistic creation and thus art has been mixed with gender. But Feminist Aesthetics increases woman value from just being a subject and defines another view which based on that woman as a creator of art has the same value as a man. Also it innovates new art patterns that put a spotlight on paying attention to woman and her issues along with aesthetics issues.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the artworks of French - American sculptor, Louise Bourgeois, from the perspective of Feminist Aesthetics. Her works were inspired by the psychological conflicts, feminist symbols, and a fertile imagination, and many experts believe that she is one of the pioneers of modern feminist art.

This study, at first talks about the feminist aesthetics, then by reviewing the biography of Louise Bourgeois and offering some hypothesis from psychoanalytic point of view, her works are analyzed and adapted to feminist aesthetics. To achieve these goals, the articles that reveal psychological and social aspects of her views and investigate their influences on her works, have been studied by the library research method.

Abstract

With the beginning of Freuds critique of psychoanalysis, a great change took place in the field of critique: since before Freudian psychoanalyzing method, all the critics were analyzing art and literatures based on artistsconscious mind and their conscious intentions, but after that analyzers focus on unconscious mind to interpret artworks, and Jung who was one of his students, offered ideas on evaluation and in some cases even opposition to his ideas. Jung considered the unconscious mind to be individual and collective. The purpose of this paper is examining the relationship between Arthur tresss artworks, American contemporary staged photographer, and the individual and collective unconscious mind. This photographer was chosen because Tress is very interested in studying Jungian psychology, and dream is an important concern for him, so investigating these artworks would not be far-fetched. This article seeks to find the reasons of repeating some components or themes of Tresss works, which are likely attributed to his unconscious mind. This research was carried out by analytical-historical method, and in the first stage, Arthur Tresss works were analyzed using Jungs special method and terms regarding individual unconscious mind, and then in order to examine the effect of the collective unconscious mind on his photographs, these works have been compared with the myths that certainly attributed to the human collective unconscious mind. Therefore, in this stage of the research, the critique method of Gilbert Dornas mythoanalysis was used, which was based on the study of the similarity between the repeated themes in today artistsworks with ancient myths. The findings show that some of recurring themes in Tresss works are rooted in his individual unconscious mind which is related to his personal life and memories. In addition, as these themes are perfectly aligned with the themes of ancient myths, it can be concluded that human collective unconscious mind has an important role in forming this photographs works.
