Description

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."
