Waves crash along the shoreline of Cannon Beach, Oregon, under a soft, blue sky, while gulls flying gracefully, creating motion across the scene. The image captures a sense of movement and tranquility, with blurred lines emphasizing the lively atmosphere.

What Is an Artist According to Sigmund Freud?

According to Freud, artists have a unique quality of sublimating their desires into creative fantasies and sharing them with their audience.

Oedipus and the Sphinx, 1808–27, oil on canvas, 189 x 144 cm, Louvre

Oedipus stands nude, youthful, and muscular, confronting the crouching Sphinx. He is caught mid-answer, confidently gesturing toward her, symbolizing human intellect in defiance of fate and mystery. His poised figure, bathed in sharp light, contrasts with the shadowy, contorted body of the Sphinx—part lion, part woman—whose claws and piercing gaze intensify the psychological tension of the scene.

The background features a rocky cliff and a distant landscape, subtly alluding to the myth’s journey motif. The lifeless body of a previous victim lies at Oedipus’s feet, underscoring the high stakes of this mythical encounter.

Spring is just around the corner and I can't wait. California received lots of rain this year, so it could be a repeat of this Super Bloom. One of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. It could be yours too.

Ça faisait 2-3 semaines que je bidouillais cet oiseau, et je pense qu'il est enfin terminé. J'ai dû m'y reprendre à deux fois pour les ailes, à un moment j'ai cru que c'était fichu. J'ai hésité à le mettre en couleur, puis j'ai hésité entre aquarelle et crayon de couleur, puis il était plus temps d'hésiter, c'était fait.

Vintage pin-up calendar from July 1954.

Text below the calendar dates for July says:

"A man who is married has offered to buy her
A screen test, a Jaguar, a week end in Haiti.
She gently but firmly said, "Sir, I'm a lady."
(He's eighty)".

An illustration shows a vivacious brunette lying on her stomach. Her knees are bent and her feet in golden strappy high-heeled sandals are kicked up in the air. Her lower back is every so barely covered by a loose white towel, revealing tan lines on her upper thighs and the ghost of a bikini string across her back. She is propped up on her elbows, her hair pulled back in another towel. She looks over her shoulder and gives a bright smile to the viewer. It's classic, kittenish cheesecake.
