#Jung: “The language I speak must be ambiguous, must have two meanings, in order to do justice to the dual aspect of our psychic nature. I strive quite consciously and deliberately for ambiguity of expression, because it is superior to unequivocalness and reflects the nature of life. My whole temperament inclines me to be very unequivocal indeed. That is not difficult, but it would be at the cost of truth. I purposely allow all the overtones and undertones to be heard, partly because they are there anyway, and partly because they give a fuller picture of reality. Unequivocalness makes sense only in establishing facts but not in interpreting them; for ‘meaning’ is not a tautology but always includes more in itself than the concrete object of which it is predicated.”
~C.G. Jung, letter to R.J. Zwi Werblowsky, 17 June 1952, C.G Jung Letters, Vol. 2, p. 70

It seems only fitting to share this painting, called Anno Domini, which is the largest in our collection! It shows the Holy Family travelling to Egypt shortly after the birth of Jesus.
