Artistic Manifestations of Life Transitions

This presentation will look first at the cave art discovered in The Caves du Volp in the French Pyrenees and the possible relationship with the transformation in adolescence. In the second half of the presentation, we will examine the Transition of Odysseus through midlife--from The Iliad to his homecoming in The Odyssey. We will see how these works are small stops on life's journey and the self-creation of the artist. Both Nietzsche and Jung see art as a forum for self-transformation and healing.
