Interacting with art, like Degas

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Art History
  • Aesthetics

Background:

  • The psychological self develops through organizing experiences, incorporating cultural expressions like art.
  • Edgar Degas's sculptures represent a unique intersection of personal artistic expression and the formal principles of his era.

Discussion:

  • Degas's sculptures exhibit distinct formal elements: unique surface treatments, dynamic mass articulation, and innovative collage techniques.
  • These sculptures are considered proto-cinematic, capturing fleeting moments rather than extended narratives.

Key Insights:

  • Unconscious identification with Degas's sculptural forms influences viewers' self-organization.
  • This identification shapes fundamental aspects of the self, including responses to life's challenges, relationships, mortality, and the development of agency.

Outlook:

  • Further research can explore the specific neurological and psychological mechanisms of empathic identification with artistic forms.
  • Investigating the broader impact of proto-cinematic art on self-perception and agency in contemporary society.
