J’aurais envie de répondre comme Warhol : « …I realized that everything I was doing must have been Death. » La mort m’obsède, mais je ne peux pas dire qu’elle « m’intéresse ».

Imaginons, poursuit Freud, une femme allant pleurer chaque jour devant l’un d’eux. Cette femme serait une névrosée. Je me trompe peut-être, mais il me semble que ça a quelque chose à voir avec l’art. Beaucoup d’œuvres sont des monuments qui se cachent.
