ABSTRACT
The life of the work develops much deeper than the channels of sublimation, analogous to the cure which emerges with its own modality eluding analysand and analyst as if guided by a third person, proof at this profoundly modulating moment of its authenticity. The work of art is no longer the manifestation of reparation, or even the site of conflicting vectors; it becomes the vessel of this "permanent inquietude" that is apt to unsettle and agitate; it is one of the domains of the Ego-Alter. Of the Moses of Michelangelo, Freud reviews the various necessarily incomplete, even contradictory interpretations of art historians and translators of the Old Testament. The analytic cure is certainly not as concrete as a work of art. The Ego-Alter, thus, appears as the lever to induce sublimation by engaging the process capable of guiding and preserving this neutralised energy so necessary for creation.
