Sigmund Freud had a significant influence on the painting of Pollock and Warhol. Freud has been a historical figure during the post-modern era and his contributions had a huge influence in the realm of science. He introduced the ID, ego, and superego and his research helped people picture how the human mind operates. Freud pointed out that the mind has a set of wants and needs that humans crave until they are satisfied. This idea was similar to Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol’s perception of a person’s needs as compared to their desires. Freud influenced the paintings of Pollock is a indirect manner. Pollock had a drinking problem and went through psychotherapy in order to fight the problem. Pollock’s doctor used man of the teachings and ideas from Sigmund Freud in order to help Pollock overcome his desires and turn them into art. Because of this, Pollock’s paintings often reflect the very ideals that Sigmund Freud himself thought of. For Warhol’s case, Warhol’s paintings often included hints of Hollywood in them. Warhol’s discovering of his ID helped him throughout his career as an artist and his representation of Hollywood. Warhol would never have discovered his ID without the help of Sigmund Freud. While Freud’s influences on Pollock and Warhol were not direct, his ideals and thoughts influenced these two great artists significantly.
