A world-renowned, founding figure in analytical psychology, and one of the twentieth centuryās most vibrant thinkers, C.G. Jung imbued as much inspiration, passion, and precision in what he made as in what he wrote. Though it spanned his entire lifetime and included painting, drawing, and sculpture, Jungās practice of visual art was a talent that Jung himself consistently downplayed out of a stated desire never to claim the title āartist.ā But the long-awaited and landmark publication, in 2009, of C.G. Jungās The Red Book revealed an astonishing visual facet of a man so influential in the realm of thought and words, as it integrated stunning symbolic images with an exploration of āthinking in imagesā in therapeutic work and the development of the method of Active Imagination. The remarkable depictions that burst forth from the pages of that calligraphic volume remained largely unrecognized and unexplored until publication.
The release of The Red Book generated enormous interest in Jungās visual works and allowed scholars to engage with the legacy of Jungās creativity. The essays collected here present previously unpublished artistic work and address a remarkably broad spectrum of artistic accomplishment, both independently and within the context of The Red Book, itself widely represented. Tracing the evolution of Jungās visual efforts from early childhood to adult life while illuminating the close relation of Jungās lived experience to his scientific and creative endeavors, The Art of C.G. Jung offers a diverse exhibition of Jungās engagement with visual art as maker, collector, and analyst.
