ABSTRACT
Adrian Stokes's renewed psychoanalytic treatment with Melanie Klein in the autumn of 1946 had reacquainted him with her theory that our psychology is constituted by internalising our experience of others outside as loved and hated part-objects. So saying Stokes went on to praise Giorgione, as well as Piero, for crystallising in a single glance fragments of inner experience in the outer form of "variant shapes that insist uniformly". after finishing Art and Science, in early autumn 1948, Stokes returned to work on his above-mentioned book, Outside In. It begins with Cornwall giving him a sense of home, in part, perhaps, because it reminded him of his brother Philip's "love for geology" there. Whether or not Stokes acted on this suggestion, he went on to incorporate material from Klein's Contributions book in the fifth chapter of Outside In.
