THE COLLECTION
The central theme of Jung’s work is the changing nature of our memories of childhood which is expressed through specific images relevant to his own childhood. The works are naif depictions of his own memories, his childhood home, farmyard animals, trees which appear toy-like - all seen through the eyes of a child. There is an inherent reflection contained in the paintings that as we age we lose our sense of spontaneity and purity of mind.
An important image is the Cockerel whose appearance hints at the loss of innocence, with the Cockerel being symbolic of betrayal in the Christian story.
