The sculptor, Philip Listengart, is an associate professor emeritus of sculpture at SUNY Purchase. His interest in creativity and the nature of the unconscious –its underpinnings – led him to enroll at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) where he received his psychoanalytic training. This evening he will discuss the sculptures of the early analysts, which grace the Brill Library. Speaking about his own sculpture of Freud, which was gifted to NYPSI in 1984, Listengart observes: “I made this piece for the pure joy of it.” |
