| Abstract: | Psychoanalysis has now been established as another aspect of art criticism. Amongst many writers who attempted to create a theory of Aesthetics is the Swiss psychiatrist, and father of analytical psychology, Carl Jung. Unlike Freud, Jung did not see art structured along sexual lines but in archetypes, which may be those of the collective or personal unconscious. For him art was a creative process not a neurosis. In his theory of aesthetics Jung established that the artist expresses archetypes consciously or unconsciously. |
