The Archetypal World of Henry Moore by Erich Neumann

The Archetypal World of Henry Moore by Erich Neumann

A groundbreaking exploration of the feminine archetype in Henry Moore’s sculptural world

Henry Moore (1898–1986) was an artist and sculptor renowned for his monumental semiabstract bronzes, many of them suggestive of the female form. The Archetypal World of Henry Moore is Erich Neumann’s thought-provoking analysis of Moore’s extraordinary work from the perspective of analytical psychology. In this landmark book, Neumann, one of the twentieth century’s most brilliant psychologists and a student of C. G. Jung, clarifies and enriches our understanding of the sculptor’s themes of mother and child and the reclining figure, demonstrating how both are supreme expressions of the archetypal feminine.

Erich Neumann (1905–1960), a psychologist and philosopher, was born in Berlin and lived in Tel Aviv from 1934 until his death. His books include Amor and Psyche, The Fear of the Feminine, The Great Mother, and The Origins and History of Consciousness (all Princeton).
