“Written to commemorate the centenary of Freud’s classic work, this lavishly illustrated book examines the shifting roles that dreams have played in twentieth- century art and science. Over the course of the century, as scientists researched the psychology and physiology of dreams, artists from Odilon Redon and Joan Miro to Mark Rothko and Akira Kurosawa created dramatic images centered in the unconscious.
