Jackson Pollock\'s work Portrait and a Dream shows two obscure shapes, which, in a Freudian
perspective, are attributed to the split of his ego. First, interpreted from a Freudian perspective Pollock
did not overcome Oedipus complex. Pollock covertly revealed his hostile feelings towards his father
and desire to kill his father. His absence from his father\'s funeral is an indication of this. In addition,
in his letter to console his mother, his sense of gladness that his father didn\'t spend much time being
sick in bed before dying was implicity revealed. Second, Pollock\'s obsession to his mother led to
homosexuality. He maintained his homosexual relationships with other men even after he was married
to Lee, his wife in 1945. His hostile feelings towards his father and affinity to homosexuality were not
acceptable by the moral and social standards of his time. His superego trying to adhere to moral
standards suppressed his id, giving rise to a split in his self. The significance of this study is that
Pollock\'s psychological conflicts and problems were interpreted based on Freud\'s Oedipus complex,
although the limit of this study is that Pollock\'s work was interpreted only in a Freudian perspective
