The Demiurge and the Tightrope Walker: Brâncuşi and Giacometti, by Vladimir Marinov

Brîndușa Orășanu26 (Accepted for publication 7 April 2018) Through its richness and multiple perspectives and references, this book by the erudite psychoanalyst Vladimir Marinov seems to represent a great argument in favour of the idea of multi-determinism in psychoanalysis. The author regards the artwork, in this case sculpture, from so many points of view that, while reading, our interest for the artistic works of sculptors Constantin Brâncuși and Alberto Giacometti, and for artistic work in general, receives numerous explicative hypotheses and clarifications while also growing in intensity: each answer deepens the multi-dimensional profoundness of the explored artistic creation. The book comprises 16 chapters, as well as a Preface signed by Jacques André and an impressive Bibliography with references to psychoanalysts’ and art-critics’ works, even to texts written by the two sculptors (with an important “quantitative” difference between the two, Giacometti being the more prolific). I will attempt to briefly present them, in mentioning that such an elaborate study requires to be read in full, as it does not only offer ideas, but gradually “surrounds” us with a certain atmosphere.
