Summary/Abstract: In this review, the authors present the historical development and recent state of the art of two spheres: art and psychoanalysis. The authors put the light to these two areas through a set of examples, analyses and determinant attitudes. In the same way they evaluate the part of the psychodynamic orientation in both aspects of visual arts and literature. The meeting of these great spheres has also been mutually fruitful and rewarding. Many authors, from Freud (1971) and his predecessors who showed interest in the artistry of insane patients to contemporaries, were mentioned in this context, together with the evaluation of their contribution in the domain of science.
