Through the Jungian framework, the reader is able to understand how not only Picasso's art, but his relations to his mistress and colleagues, his changing lifestyle and work habits, and his attraction to major Modernist figures like Rousseau and Cezanne were expressions of this psychological transformation. While using Jung to illuminate Picasso, \u003cem\u003eThe Psychological Roots of Modernism\u003c\/em\u003e also employs Picasso to illuminate Jung, providing the clearest and most compelling support for the bedrock principles of analytical psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book's powerful application of Jung's psychology and its radically new perspectives on Picasso's art make it essential reading for students in the fields of art history and Freudian and Jungian psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam A.
