It's just weird reading Jung analyzing the likes of Picasso with no
regard for the aesthetic context. It's one thing for a non-artistic
patient to draw a fragmented picture as part of his or her analysis
and quite another for Picasso to do so. What Jung does in analyzing
art violates all of his own basic principles regarding understanding
the context in which a dream or drawing occurs. Jung wouldn't even
analyze a dream without extensive knowledge of the outer life
circumstance of the dreamer. Analyzing Picasso's work as non-feeling
and as having no regard for its audience is a rather conventional
collective view of the art. Strange for a man whose mission was
individuation from the collective.
