ABSTRACT
Bion considered the various psychoanalytic theories as surface manifestations of an underlying configuration and directed his attention to the universal restriction of thinking and how it blocks awareness of psychic truth. Psycho-analysis investigates a relationship and it is what the author attempting to do by critically examining what went on in creation of these paintings and in his relationship with his model. The author examines how Ignacio Matte Blanco's ideas about thinking in the conscious mind and feeling in the unconscious mind help us understand what happened with these paintings. The workings of conscious and unconscious activity in the arts continue to intrigue psychoanalysts. The author mentioned that Marion Milner, psychoanalyst and artist of the British middle school, who wrote sensitively about her own experiences, not only trying to free herself in her paintings but also in the pursuit of ineffable qualities of experience. Developments within psychoanalysis provide a favourable climate for a richer dialogue between art criticism and psychoanalysis.
