Presented by Diane O’Donoghue. Guided tour at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Sigmund Freud’s widely read The Interpretation of Dreams (1900) made a number of bold claims about the meaning and mechanics of a phenomenon—dreaming— that was at that time widely dismissed in Eurocentric traditions. One of the best-known of his insights involved the notions of the manifest and latent, with the imagery we recall from sleep (“manifest content”) as masking less accessible “latent meaning.” This latter aspect of psychical functioning often defied conventions of representation, of “picturing,” as Freud would have known it. This gallery presentation will consider Chinese and Japanese painting as offering ways to consider different notions of surface and depth, as both visual and psychological experiences.
