8. Connection Nietzsche He talks about Christianity as being a set of false morals He says you must come up with a personal set of morals to rise above as a, “super,” version of yourself How it Connects The key point of impressionism is personal interpretation, for example an artist paints his own interpretation of the scene he sees, and the viewer must also make his own personal interpretation of the artist’s painting. This coincides well with Nietzsche’s ideas of creating your own personal set of morals. You must make your own interpretation on how you should act based on what you know about yourself. Freud Freud stresses that your actions are inspired by your subconscious mind Your ego, or normal self, is a careful balance between your super ego, or perfect self, and id, or naughty self How it connects Your actions are being determined solely by your own mind This coincides with the idea of an artist painting his own personal interpretation of a scene, and a viewer making their own personal interpretation of the painting.
