Art and the Creative Unconscious

Four essays on the **psychological aspects of art.** ---A study of **Leonardo** treats the work of art, and art itself, not as ends in themselves, but rather as instruments of the artist's inner situation. ---Two other essays discuss the ***relation of art to its epoch*** and specifically the relation of modern art to our own time. ---An essay on **Chagall** views this artist in the context of the problems explored in the other studies. Jordan B. Peterson: Erich Neumann is the most well-regarded student, analyst & distiller of Carl Jung's work.

First sentence: In any attempt to come closer to the personality of Leonardo da Vinci, it will be well to bear in mind the words of Jakob Burckhardt: "The colossal outlines of Leonardo's nature can never be more than dimly and distantly conceived."
