Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Jung’s vision and theories are artistic at their essence, and – although he refused to think of himself as an “artist” – he knew it....

It recounts and comments upon the author's imaginative experiences between 1913-16, and is based on manuscripts first drafted by Jung in 1914‐15 and 1917. Despite being nominated as the central work in Jung’s oeuvre, it was not published or made otherwise accessible for study until 2009. ...Jung was not "psychotic" by any accepted clinical criteria during the period he created Liber Novus. Nonetheless, what he was doing during these years defies facile categorization. Jung referred to his imaginative or visionary venture during these years as "my most difficult experiment." This experiment involved a voluntary confrontation with the unconscious through willful engagement of what Jung later termed "mythopoetic imagination".... Jung worked his text and images in the Red Book using calligraphic pen, multicolored ink, and gouache paint. The text is written in German.
