Summary:

"'Donfrancesco examines artistic experience with the eye of an analyst, and analytic experience with the eye of an artist. His writing is involved, understood and practised as an operation, a process which, particularly through the use of image, seeks to merge the individual and the general, subjective and objective, the psychological and the spiritual. Beauty, for him, is the aim of all art; a beauty that mobilises Eros through the active myth-defining elements in a work of art, including the most contemporary creation, and thus supports the exchange of aesthetic emotion.' - Christian Gaillard, PhD, Jungian psychoanalyst, former president of the International Association for Analytical Psychology"--Provided by publisher.
