938, Mansfield Garden, London.
"If you have any instructions, just call me, Professor Freud ."
old Sigmond Close the door , and just quickly glanced around the new studio where he had just settled in, and then strode to the desk not far from the window.
Sigmund Freud London room
He placed the briefcase in his hand on the desktop, and carefully took out a well-wrapped Athena small bronze sculpture from it. In the future, this goddess of war, which represents reason and wisdom, will still occupy one of the centers of his desk.
Minerva (Athena) is the goddess of wisdom in the myth of Ancient Greek . On the right is Freud's bronze sculpture.
Then, the only remaining - Chinese Qing Dynasty desktop jade screen was also invited. Due to excessive caution, he almost failed to slide it down in !
Removed the delicate texture of the double-layer milky white velvet cloth, and the ice-skinned and jade bones of exquisite jade are revealed. The sunlight sifted by the morning fog in London is bathing in it, like a transparent green dream.
After putting it in the direction of the window, Freud squatted down and started to enjoy it with all his heart.
1. The rest of London
Athena and Yuping are heads two who traveled through English Channel to Floyd's London office.
In fact, a week later, "others" - who often anthropomorphizes old antiques like this, beats him from the heart as a good companion - also logged in one after another with the cover of Princess Mary Bonaparte and the assistance of The Vienna Museum of Art History .
Princess Mary Bonaparte was born in the Bonaparte family. She was Napoleon's great niece and was also a psychoanalyst. She once sought medical treatment from Freud and worked with her. hour hand points to 10 o'clock .
Assistant asked for instructions, Russian aristocrat Sergei Pankjeff visited.
"Good morning, Sergei Sir Pankjeff, I'm sorry for being in a misunderstanding, please come in quickly."
"I have long admired the name, Freud Doctor. Ah, it's better to see it than to hear it. Where is this a doctor's clinic? It's clearly... the study of a large collector! Do you have a suitable term to call this psychological phenomenon - "fanity"?
Selgei gestured his golden carving ornament of ebony walking stick, and his beard was rising, but what he said was not false.
Collection room is his studio, Freud allows a number of visual inspiration to surround him .
is not so much like "a lot of fun", it is better to say that it is the more than 2,000 antiques and thousands of books that has collected over the years, which has built its daily activity space.
The sofa is covered with a valuable oriental woven blanket, which is where the patient sits for consultation. Mount Fuji prints of Hiroshi Yoshida are hung on the wall.
For scholars, the desk is undoubtedly the most important place , and there are often small "wheel exhibitions" that belong to him. The "old guys" in cabinet appear here from time to time, with aesthetics and practicality, antiques and modern mixing.
Sphinx stands next to the pen, and the cigar box next to the Tang Dynasty pottery figurines is within reach.
"Those ancient and stained statues are helping me."
—Freud once mentioned in "Analysis of the Dream of " that he observed the ancient statues in order to obtain academic inspiration.
And on the desktop, Chinese collections are in a prominent position that can be seen from the top .
2. China Qiyuan
Freud's relationship with Chinese antiques began in his later years. is not his most expensive collection, but it is the most expensive . This also confirms the trend of European society's interest in Chinese things in his time .
That was the last decade of his 's life - Freud began to communicate letters with the first person who translated his writings in China. Chapter Shizhao .
From the letters at that time, Freud's respect for China and Chinese culture and art is beyond words , which seems to have accumulated a good foundation for his collection of Chinese antiques and books.
In China, jade has always been a precious jade , its texture is strong and it is not easy to carve.
jade is often given many symbolic meanings. Through the collection of this jade gold brooch , shows Freud's in-depth understanding of Chinese culture .
This is his birthday gift to his daughter Anna. Made of jade and gold, two jade rings, one large and one small, are surrounded by golden dragons, and are connected with gold needles.
took a photo with her daughter Anna, who inherited Freud's mantle and became a famous child psychologist.
Freud was born in 1856, exactly the year of the dragon in China . He is very likely to know the relationship between the "dragon" and the year he was born, which may be why he particularly likes this collection.
Then there is the jade screen mentioned above - One of the most unsatisfied treasure when he went to other countries - there was also a dragon pattern on it.
This small jade screen is very popular with Freud. The pattern in the middle is the Chinese character "Shou" pattern, and dragon patterns are carved on both sides and around the character "Shou".
and this Qing Dynasty mahogany carved table screen are all adopted openwork techniques. The sparse and transparent are rare treasures and are also placed in the most eye-catching position in the middle of the desk.
At this moment, Freud was looking at a female pottery figurine of the Tang Dynasty in a daze.
6 years ago that afternoon , Lu Shalemei came to his seat like a swan. Salome has an elegant temperament and quick thinking. He has conquered a group of talented men in Europe. , even Freud, who can be called the "stationary needle", almost fell in love with .
Lu Salome (1861-1937) The jewel in the palm of the Russian exiled nobles, he is a talented writer and an independent feminist. She devoted the last 25 years of her life to psychoanalysis
At that time, Freud's views were undoubtedly too new, but in the eyes of Salome, he was Prometheus, the wise and brave in the academic world. On the same day, she officially started training under her own hands.
The two are not strict master-apprentice relationships, and as friends, their theoretical views are not without differences. , but they respect each other, they are both unreliable workaholics , they are also indifferent to fame and fortune, and rarely meet opponents.
Every time she visits, she takes some time to look at these 's diverse and vivid pottery figurines , claiming that it will be helpful to the new research.
And for Freud, as more and more Chinese statues appearing on his desk, he frequently reviewed and re-explained his thoughts on feminine traits in his later works.
Freud re-emphasized the role of "mother" in his later career works and examined the significance of "pre-mother-Odesh period" to women.
Overview of all Freud's antique collections, sculptures and ornaments undoubtedly account for a large proportion. When it comes to , it mostly depends on its own preferences , rather than its value.
So, in the life of this originator of psychoanalysis, the two passions of medicine and collection began to entangle each other. When did it begin?
3. Bergas No. 19
"Sigmund, read this! "
in Vienna, Austria Bergas 19 In the old house of the number, Freud's childish brother pointed to the title in the newspaper and screamed:
"Big: Archaeologist Heinrich Schlieman
excavated the ancient city of Troy!"
5-year-old Freud had his eyes shining, "The ancient city of Troy , is alive." He thought silently in his heart.
Two years later, in 1873, Schriman published the monograph "Anti-Troy" of this archaeological achievement, and this book has been read by the desk volume of young people Freud and is often read. It can be said that the archaeological tide that accompanied Freud's growth has continuously aroused his love and interest in archaeology, aesthetics, and myths.
Former residence No. 19, Berggasse, Vienna, Austria, Freud lived and worked here for 47 years in his early years and became the birthplace of psychoanalysis by the whole world.
But from heart to outgoing - that is to say, forms the habit of collecting . It is a common saying that is after Freud's father passed away. In order to divert his sad emotions, he seeks healing from collecting.
890s In the late Freud truly became an art collector when he was writing "Interpretation of Dreams".
At first, he didn't have much disposable income to invest in this hobby (because his private clinic was soon established and he still had to support six children). The earliest purchase of is the sculpture of gypsum replicas, including Michelangelo's " The Dead Slave ".
Original Michelangelo's "Dying Slave" (c. 1513)/ Louvre
But as Freud became more and more mature, his taste became more and more refined.
Usually, in addition to being busy with various things in his personal clinic, he also works as a translation and university teaching. But no matter how busy he is, he will take time to go to the antique shop.
He once compared psychoanalysis and archaeology . believes that both are digging deep into . Just as he has uncovered countless psychological aspects of patients in his career, :
Psychoanalysts, just like archaeologists, they must reveal the patient's psychology layer by layer before they can find the deepest and most valuable treasure.
—Freud
Some of the most profound ideas in his theoretical system also contains metaphor from ancient Greece and Ancient Roman myths. In 1922, , along with another phenomenal archaeological — Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun tomb was excavated, and the 66-year-old Freud established his own archaeological library in Vienna .
Until 938, when Freud, who was already 82 years old, was forced to leave , he still didn't know whether he could take away his collections.
Fortunately, they came to London after all, accompanied him on his last journey, and became part of the Memorial Museum behind their masters.
London's former residence has become the Floyd Museum today, almost keeping it as it was when the owner lived. It is undoubtedly one of the most charming and historically valuable museums in London.
In the first half of this year, here (i.e., the Freud Museum, with the strong support of the Stanley Ho Family Foundation), also held the "Freud and China" special exhibition , which sorted out the antiques and ancient books collected by Freud, his relationship with Chinese art , history and culture. revealed the little-known side of this originator of psychiatry.
939 On a breeze and whistling dusk, old Floyd was walking on the grass in the yard and teasing the dog, and an idea came to my mind.
He quit walking to his wife: Martha, I thought of a word that hasn't been said for a long time , do you carry paper and pen with you? Very good, hurry up, please write it down for me -
has an ancient work of art, and what people have is not a beautiful and unparalleled skin. If you look deeper, you will get the civilization and memory condensed under its surface, the outstanding life that has been walking in the world, their intelligence and transparency, emotions and beliefs, futility and perseverance.
