Abstract (en)
Interprets the Surrealist art of Giorgio de Chirico, Max Ernst, and Alberto Giacometti in relation to the three primal fantasies identified by Sigmund Freud--seduction, parental sex, castration--which are seen to govern the work of these artists. Focuses on these three artists because each evokes a different primal fantasy and each uses a different aesthetic method or medium. Concludes by relating the fantasmatic art of surrealism to the simulacrum.
