ART AND ARTIST-OTTO RANK

'IF WE COMPARE THE NEUROTIC WITH THE PRODUCTIVE LIFE, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE FORMER SUFFERS FROM AN EXCESSIVE CHECK ON HIS IMPULSIVE LIFE...BOTH ARE DISTINGUISHED FROM THE AVERAGE TYPE WHO ACCEPTS' HIMSELF AS HE IS' BY THEIR TENDENCY TO EXERCISE THEIR VOLITION IN RESHAPING THEMSELVES. THERE IS HOWEVER, THIS DIFFERENCE:THAT THE NEUROTIC, IN THE VOLUNTARY REMAKING OF HIS EGO DOES NOT GET BEYOND THE DESTRUCTIVE PRELIMINARY WORK AND IS THEREFOREUNABLE TO DETACH THE WHOLE CREATIVE PROCESS FROM HIS OWN PERSON AND TRANSFER IT TO AN IDEOLOGICAL ABSTRACTION.
THE PRODUCTIVE ARTIST ALSO BEGINS WITH THAT RECREATION OF HIMSELF WHICH RESULTS IN AN IDEOLOGICALLY CONSTRUCTED EGO...BUT IN THIS CASE ...THE EGO IS THEN IN A POSITION TO SHIFT THE CREATIVE WILL POWER FROM HIS OWN PERSON TO IDEOLOGICAL REPRESENTATION OF THAT PERSON AND THUS RENDER IT OBJECTIVE'...

IT IS AWARENESS IN HEALTHY KNOWING THAT ONE IS EXPRESSING THE AFFECT OR INFLUENCE IN A NON NARCISSISTIC OR SELF INDULGENT WAY...THE TRUINGS INTO ART ARISE OUT OF THE TRUINGS OF URGENCY W/O THE FILTERS OF MEDIATION AND MIMESIS POWER SEEKING...THUS IT IS THE ROBERT PENN WARREN WAY OF ONLY WITH THE DEATH OF AMBITION DOES THE REAL CREATIVE EMERGE...
