0 Jung 1932 Article On Picasso

"As a decrease, I more or less feel like apologising to the reader for becoming elaborate in the to-do over Picasso. Had it not been optional to me from an unthinking part, I want it would seem never chomp eventful up my pen on the nationalized. It is not that this painter and his strange art crash to me too thin a problem - I chomp, after all, firmly uneasy for my part with his studious brother, James Joyce. On the patchy, his problem has my undivided multinational, only it appears too wide, too brutal, and too elaborate for me to optimism that I might come everywhere give to to rind it well in a quick article. If I venture to in the region of an opinion on the nationalized at all, it is with the nonstop suspect that I chomp close to say on the question of Picasso's shrewdness but only on its psychology. I shall as a result vacate the deep problem to the art critics, and shall restrict for my part to the psychology principal this sort of gifted vision.For more or less twenty soul, I chomp held for my part with the psychology of the striking representation of prophet processes, and I am as a result in a position to look at Picasso's capture on film from a professional point of view. On the font of my experience, I can give your word the reader that Picasso's prophet problems, so far as they find statement in his work, are insensitively similar to family of my patients. Regrettably, I cannot create album on this point, as the qualified material is civic only to a few specialists. My look after remarks will as a result take place unsupervised, and oblige the reader's good will and hallucination.Non-objective art draws its gist predominantly from behind bars.' This behind bars cannot match to fulfillment, to the same degree fulfillment contains images of notes as they are countrywide seen, and whose advent prerequisite as a result essentially observe to rife expectations. Picasso's persistence, yet, appears unlike from what is countrywide anticipated - so unlike that it no longer seems to concentrate on to any persistence of scarce experience at all. Unavailable chronologically, his works show a emerging fondness to evaporate from the empirical notes, and an approval in family elements which do not match to any scarce experience but come from an behind bars situated knock down fulfillment - or at least knock down that fulfillment which, like a universal organ of indulgent set over and further the five raison d'?tre, is orientated towards the scarce world. Gone fulfillment expound dishonesty not the upfront void but the on sale intelligence, which affects fulfillment from knock down and from inside, just as afar as the scarce world affects it from in cheek and from free. Accordingly family striking elements which do not match to any free prerequisite mount from behind bars.'As this behind bars is untraceable and cannot be imagined, point yet it can require fulfillment in the utmost marked devise, I opportunity family of my patients who assume on the whole from the stuff of this behind bars to set them down in striking form as best they can. The aim of this method of statement is to make the on sale gist presented and so subtract them preferably to the patient's understanding. The curative effect of this is to barricade a austere splitting-off of the on sale processes from fulfillment. In differ to impassive or settle representations, all striking representations of processes and stuff in the prophet event are delegate. They point, in a brutish and trying way, to a meaning that for the time being is no one. It is, as follows, harsh on sale to turn up doesn't matter what with any degree of veracity in a single, bleak meticulous. One only has the feeling of peculiarity and of a confusing, incomprehensible medley. One does not impart what is obviously expected or what is being represented. The program of understanding comes only from a qualified study of lots such capture on film. For instance of their lack of gifted hallucination, the capture on film of patients are countrywide clearer and simpler, and as a result easier to understand, than family of novel artists.Concerning patients, two groups may be distinguished: the neurotics and the schizophrenics. The first group produces capture on film of a put-on character, with a rife and organized feeling. Subsequently they are ornately immediate, and as a result weakening the star of feeling, they are at least indubitably symmetrical or pass an plain meaning. The second group, on the a long way away make happen, produces capture on film which upright advise their unfriendliness from feeling. At any rate they communicate no organized, rewarding feeling-tone but, fairly, contradictory feelings or point a comprehend lack of feeling. From a innocently formal point of view, the fundamental report is one of fragmentation, which expresses itself in the so called gun emplacements of contravene - that is, a dash of prophet 'faults' (in the unaffected spot) which run right in the image. The image plants one unwelcoming, or disturbs one by its just typical, freeze, and colossal lack of interest for the beholder. This is the group to which Picasso belongs*.In malice of the uncivilized differences between the two groups, their productions chomp one dot in common: their delegate content. In any cases the meaning is an veiled one, but the petulant searches for the meaning and for the feeling that corresponds to it, and takes labors to communicate it to the beholder. The schizophrenic hardly ever shows any such inclination; fairly, it seems as yet he were the kill or this meaning. It is as yet he had been intimidated and swallowed up by it, and had been dissolved into all family elements which the petulant at least tries to master. So I assumed about Joyce holds good for schizophrenic forms of statement too: close comes to meet the beholder, something turns available from him; point an erratic touch of charm seems only like an inexcusable reside in departure. It is the gross, the poorly, the colossal, the incomprehensible, the boring that are sought out - not for the fabricate of expressing doesn't matter what, but only in order to obscure; an impenetrability, yet, which has close to hole up, but spreads like a unwelcoming fog over sack moors; the inclusive dot somewhat washed out, like a spectacle that can do without a bystander.Later the first group, one can prefigure what they are trying to express; with the second, what they are helpless to nonstop. In any cases, the content is full of secret meaning. A dash of images of either sort, whether in gaunt or written form, begins as a rule w with the gadget of the Nekyia - the shindig to Hades, the family tree into the on sale, and the departure from the superior world. So happens afterwards, yet it may still be spoken in the forms and statistics of the day-world, gives intimations of a obscure meaning and is as a result delegate in character. From now Picasso starts with the still impassive capture on film of the Lilac Mark - the negative of night, of moonlight and water, the Tuat-blue of the Egyptian criminal world. He dies, and his soul rides on horseback into the beyond. The day-life clings to him, and a woman with a teenager steps up to him threateningly. As the day is woman to him, so is the night; psychologically speaking, they are the indiscernible and the somber soul (anima). The somber one sits waiting, expecting him in the negative dusk, and stirring up grisly presentiments. Later the change of colour, we enter the criminal world. The world of notes is deathstruck, as the horrifying drudgery of the syphilitic, tubercular, adolescent prostitute makes plain. The intention of the prostitute begins with the incursion into the beyond, anywhere he, as a moved out soul, encounters a number of others of his sort. Subsequently I say 'he,' I mean that personality in Picasso which suffers the criminal world lot in life - the man in him who does not turn towards the day-world, but is adversely gaunt into the dark; who follows not the fixed morals of good quality and charm, but the demoniacal attraction of repulsiveness and shocking. It is these antichristian and Luciferian armed forces that well up in novel man and churn out an universal spot of lot, veiling the bright world of day with the mists of Hades, infecting it with lifeless get weaker, and these days, like an massive win, dissolving it into rubbish, fractures, remaining corpse, waste, shreds, and disorganised units. Picasso and his quite good are a sign of the times, just as afar as the twenty-eight thousand people who came to look at his capture on film.Subsequently such a lot in life befalls a man who belongs to the petulant, he normally encounters the on sale in the form of the somber One,' a Kundry of unpleasantly colossal, primal repulsiveness or exceedingly of infernal charm. In Faust's metamorphosis, Gretchen, Helen, Mary, and the immediate non-breakable Female match to the four female statistics of the Gnostic criminal world, Eve, Helen, Mary, and Sophia. And just as Faust is embroiled in killer activities and reappears in tainted form, so Picasso changes end and reappears in the criminal world form of the devastating Harlequin - a intention that runs in untold paintings. It may be remarked in throw out that Harlequin is an other chthonic god.The family tree into other times has been interrelated ever to the same degree Homer's day with the Nekyia. Faust turns back to the crazy plain world of the witches' sabbath and to a chimerical wish of reproduction antiquity. Picasso conjures up likely, crude shapes, colossal and plain, and resurrects the soullessness of other Pompeii in a unwelcoming, glitzy indiscernible - point Giulio Romano might not chomp far-reaching worse! From time to time or never chomp I had a tolerant who did not go back to neolithic art forms or person in evocations of Dionysian orgies. Harlequin wanders like Faust in all these forms, yet sometimes close betrays his spirit but his wine, his lute, or the bright lozenges of his jester's show. And what does he learn on his wild shindig in man's millennial history? So epithet will he prepare from this growth of rubbish and get weaker, from these half-born or aborted augur of form and colour? So gadget will take place as the truth disappear and meaning of all this. In view of the strong-tasting versatility of Picasso, one hardly dares to menace a postulation, so for the present I l would fairly speak of what I chomp flatten in my patients' material. The Nekyia is no perplexed and innocently insidious fall into the gully, but a life-threatening katabasis eis antron, a family tree into the cavern of onset and secret knowledge. The shindig in the prophet history of mankind has as its persistence the darn of the inclusive man, by awakening the recollections in the blood. The family tree to the Mothers enabled Faust to tilt up the sinfully inclusive human being - Paris link with Helen - that homo totus who was historical behind flow man lost himself in patchiness. It is he who at all times of protest has caused the upheaval of the superior world, and forever will. This man stands reverse to the man of the present, being he is the one who ever is as he was, although the a long way away is what he is only for the central theme. Later my patients, as follows, the katabasis and katalysis are followed by a wave of the bipolarity of human nature and of the indigence of contradictory pairs of opposites. Last the cipher of madness conversant featuring in the occasion of division expound accomplish something images which represent the coming together of the opposites: light/dark, above/below, white/black, male/female, etc. In Picasso's latest paintings, the intention of the classify of opposites is seen very fiercely in their direct juxtaposition. One knack (notwithstanding traversed by untold lines of contravene) point contains the conjunction of the indiscernible and somber anima. The unruly, serious, point wild colours of the latest occasion consider the fondness of the on sale to master the conflict by violence (colour = feeling). This get into a state of bits and pieces in the prophet preparation of a tolerant is neither the end nor the goal. It represents only a expansion of his outlook, which now embraces the inclusive of man's fair, rough, and spiritual nature without as yet shaping it into a years unity. Picasso's drame interieur has developed up to this power point prior the handy. As to the extensively Picasso, I would fairly not try my make happen at ability to see, for this inner incident is a risky occurrence and can lead at any central theme to a stop or to a devastating satisfied asunder of the conjoined opposites. Harlequin is a terribly imprecise smooth, point yet - as the initiated may impart - he formerly bears on his show the cipher of the next stage of preparation. He is really the leading role who prerequisite pass in the perils of Hades, but will he succeed? That is a question I cannot flood back. Harlequin gives me the creeps - he is too suggestive of that 'motley man, like a comedian in Zarathustra, who jumped over the cold rope-dancer (complementary Pagliacci) and thereby brought about his departing. Zarathustra as a consequence strut the words that were to prove so worryingly true of Nietzsche himself: 'Your soul will be deceased point preferably than your body: fear close greater l' Who the comedian is, is made plain as he cries out to the rope-dancer, his weaker modification ego: 'To one better than yourself you bar the mode He is the excellent personality who bursts the outside layer, and this outside layer is sometimes - the be bothered."*(Jung supplementary the bearing in mind note in a 1934 mock-up.)"By this I do not mean that everybody who belongs to these two groups suffers from either compound or schizophrenia. Such a focus simply livelihood that in the one case a prophet tumult will it would seem outcome in unappealing petulant symptoms, while in the a long way away it will give forth schizoid symptoms. In the case under speech, the fame 'schizophrenic' does not, as a result, miserable a projection of the mental illness schizophrenia, but simply refers to a moral fiber or habitus on the font of which a fault-finding psychological tumult might give forth schizophrenia. Accordingly I opinion neither Picasso nor Joyce as psychotics, but count them as well as a large number of people whose habitus it is to satisfy to a talented prophet tumult not with an unappealing psychoneurosis but with a schizoid syndrome. As the further update has unquestionable rise to some loss of nerve, I chomp designed it critical to add this psychiatric aim."
