BECOMING CONSCIOUS: A JUNGIAN LENS ON ARTIST HILMA AF KLIMT
Upon seeing Hilma af Klint’s ((1862–1944) works, there is an instinctive recognition of that which Jung (1875-1961) presented through his creative expressions, in both his visual works and his writings. This presentation will be an exploration of af Klint’s connection to visions and the spiritual plane, which led to her paintings about human and spiritual development, which Jung termed individuation. We will contemplate through the lens of Jungian psychology two of her series, The Ten Largest (1907) and The Swan (1914-1915), as depictions of the dynamic urge toward the creation and resolution of duality. A particular focus will be on the union of duality expressed through the symbol of the androgyne, and the state of consciousness such a union may engender, symbolized by af Klint in these paintings and Jung in his text, Aion, using geometric and abstract form to visually render the state of being that is psychological wholeness.
