Does the 20th Century belong to Freud, the 'Godless Jew', the grandson of a Hassidic Rabbi, recipient of the Goethe prize? In 1918, Freud asked, 'why was it that none of all the pious ever discovered psychoanalysis? Why did it have to wait for a completely 'Godless Jew'? Was the question intended to be mischievous and provocative and did Freud shed light on the works of artists, and literary giants such as Leonardo da Vinci, Shakespeare, Ibsen and Michelangelo's statue of Moses.
