My favorite book about this area is:
The Hidden Order of Art - by Anton Ehrensweig
Long out of print but copies do turn up from
time to time. he was a psychoanalist who rejected
Freuds "pathalogical" position and posits a
"creative" or "celebratory" analysis which is
very similar to the Jungian school with the major
difference that it retains Freuds linking to the
body and bodily functions and doesn't get
immersed in the mystical "metaphysical" stuff
that most Jungians get into (and Freudians are so
suspicious of).
Ehrensweig based his work on that of Marion Milner
who did some epic and pioneering work on the
psychoanalysis of art. Ehrensweig though was
contemporary with tachism and abstract expressionism
so looked for the "content" of his analysis in the
physical structure of the artwork (rather than its
overt content like most psychoanalysts).
Highly recommended.
Also - you may be interested to llok up a
copy of William James original work on psychology
which has some interesting work on the subconscious
and its relationship to consciousness (and predates Freud).
