Divides into psychological (personal) and visionary (collective).

Art can never be reduced to psychopathology because visionary art is greater than its creator and draws on primordial images and forces.

It stands on its own merits. It compensates for the one-sidedness of an era.

Rather than a symptom or something secondary, it's a true symbolic expression, a reorganization of the conditions to which a causalistic explanation reduces it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_(Michelangelo)
