Reseña del libro "The Art of the Self: The Blue Book of Eranos Founder Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn (en Inglés)"
Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn (1881-1962) was the pioneering founder of the famous Eranos Conferences, which since the early 1930s have attracted to Ascona (Switzerland) some of the most influential scholars of the 20th and 21st centuries and made an extraordinary contribution to world intellectual history. The unpublished anthology of her artworks, which we refer to today as the Blue Book, can be traced back to two distinct periods. The first phase was essential for a series of "Meditation Plates," painted between c. 1926 and 1934, and particularly during her collaboration with theosophist Alice Ann Bailey (1880-1949). The second phase concerns a collection of "Visions," drawn between 1934 and 1938. These were the crucial years of her enduring intellectual relationship with psychologist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), who was one of the main sources of inspiration at Eranos and provided the impetus for the creation of the Eranos Archive for Research in Symbolism. Convinced that "the deepest things in human life ... can only be expressed in images," Fröbe-Kapteyn documented in her Blue Book the forms of imagination of a creative and independent woman. Because of the care with which she had drawn, composed, and preserved it, Fröbe-Kapteyn perhaps hoped that her Blue Book would survive her and also allow future generations to rediscover and make it their own, as a special testament to that endless search for the Self, at once personal and universal, that Jung would theorize with the idea of the "individuation process."Table of ContentsForeword (Fabio Merlini) Preface (Murray Stein) AcknowledgementsEditorial Note Introduction 1.
