Bilder des Unbewussten

The red book, with its spectacular images, has sparked great interest in C. G. Jung among many people—not in Jung, the great physician and depth psychologist, but in Jung, the creator of impressive images and calligraphy. This new, elaborately designed picture book provides a further comprehensive impression of C. G. Jung's creative work. Jung himself consistently resisted the notion that his images and designs should be labeled as art. However, the images, drawings, and sculptures collected in this volume testify to his immense artistic creativity and his remarkable sense of form and color. Five written contributions offer extensive explanations regarding Jung's mandala drawings, his working methods in the red book, his color concepts, and his significance as a collector. A book that brings the world of the unconscious closer with its expressive images.
