Light From the Darkness

Posthumous collection of Peter Birkhäuser's dream paintings with commentary by Marie-Louise von Franz — the primary example of Jungian active imagination rendered in visual art, demonstrating how the unconscious communicates through image.

Provides the most complete documentation of Jungian art practice — Birkhäuser's decades of dream-derived paintings, with von Franz's archetypal commentary, demonstrate what it looks like when visual art emerges from sustained engagement with the unconscious rather than aesthetic intention.
