“My work is based on a tradition quite distinct from the Eckersberg tradition, a Nordic line of development that had never been clearly and consistently defined in the literature on art. This line is not a straight one; it has the strangest and most fascinating twists and curves, and includes such artists as Edvard Munch, Ernest Josephson, Hill, Hansen Jacobsen, Johannes Holbek, Jens Lund, and Emile Nolde. Not all of them equally well known.” WellsArtArtistLiteratureLinesKnownDevelopmentTraditionDefinedHillsFascinatingConsistentlyWell KnownCurvesTwistsNordic Author:Asger Jorn

“Beauty has never been an important topic in the writings of the major psychologists. In fact, for Jung, aesthetics is a weak, early stage of development. He follows the Germanic view that ethics is more important than aesthetics, and he draws a stark contrast between the two. Freud may have written about literature a bit, but an aesthetic sensitivity is not part of his psychology.” WritingMayTwoImportantFactsLiteratureBitsViewsPsychologyWrittenStageDevelopmentMajorsDrawsEthicsWeakAestheticContrastSensitivityTopicsAestheticsPsychologistStarksJungStages Of Development Author:James Hillman
