The Enneagram Fixations in Art

2/8/2012

 
Picture
1. American Gothic (Grant Wood). The perfect posture and the critical gaze are perfectly captured.
Picture
2. Song of Angels (William Bouguereau). Caring, loving angels epitomise a Two's self-image.
Picture
3. Masterpiece (Roy Liechtenstein). Insincerity and focusing on image and success are Three trademarks.
Picture
4. The Broken Column (Frida Kahlo). A Four's obsession with suffering is evident here.
Picture
5. The Thinker (Auguste Rodin). All the focus and attention is in the mind - as if thinking can solve everything.
Picture
6. Barbara Kruger (Untitled [Questions]). Questioning authority is Sixish and the amount of questions reflects the anxious mind-chatter a Six experiences.
Picture
7. Slides (Carsten Höller). Making art a fun, physical experience is typical of a Seven.
Picture
8. The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (Damien Hirst). This is confrontational, dominating and no-nonsense, like the Eight fixation.
Picture
9. Bassin Aux Nympheas (Claude Monet). The gentle tranquility of a human-free environment reminds me of how Nine's mentally detach themselves from conflict.
