The Dream Artist Nobody Knows About

  • Few artists have so powerfully evoked the uncanny otherness of the unconscious like Swiss artist Peter Birkhäuser. His unknown dream paintings were met with blank incomprehension, and were not well-received by the art community of the time, but, viewed today, his vivid paintings bear striking testament to the disruptive and transformative reality of individuation, the purpose of Jungian psychology, which is to seek wholeness of personality by bringing one's unconscious contents into reality.
    After a midlife crisis, Birkhäuser dedicated himself exclusively to bringing these unconscious images into reality. Just how hard this struggle with himself must have been is suggested by the fact that it took the artist twelve years to make the great break and paint a picture entirely according to his own imagination, with no model from the real world.
    Birkhäuser's daughter Eva Wertenschlag is the president of the Birkhäuser-Oeri Foundation, you can visit the works in Basel, Switzlerland. Contact through the official homepage: birkhaeuser-oeri.ch/en

      The man on the ladder coming up from the sewer with his hunchback and the lantern was one of if not my favorite painting. The tender hope ( I thought ) on his face as he left his toil and headed for home and possible love. His own lantern becoming visible behind him yet light from somewhere acknowledges the face distinguishing it.

    I have lost my unconscious eye presently through binging internet images and socials like Insta. Drug dependence has also played a part in this blindness. My dreams are all real life scenarios that revolve around work and failure to complete tasks before a special visit. The message is pretty clear for me. I am an artist at heart, a dreamer being crushed beneath my fear of life, I’m always in turmoil or drudgery. I do my best to be kind and curious. I hope to transcend this grey prison like this guy did.

      I'll give completely different 'advice': *change Your environment* , move - to the countryside, whatever the loss of comfort - and see how things start 'to speak' and mean something, again.
      Cities are designed to instrumentalize the nature of man into the machine of secular and industrial 'progress' - the only image that can come up is despair about the rationalizing delusions, necessary to subsist in that environment.

    • @BardChords
      @BardChords 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      ​@@christophmahler Yeah you shouldn't live in a city, for sure. I would give similar advice, if you are trying to be an artist you are going to get way better living at campgrounds, being frugal, and learning how to draw from life, rather than going to art school or whatever.
      Also, lots of 'artist ethics' are very upper-class: buy from local art stores, travel to big cities, maintain a rich night life, etcetera.
      Buy from the place you get the best deals, big cities and travel take time and rest away from practice, and alcohol liquidates your brain and wastes your most productive hours (evening and morning).

    "At the Door" reminds me of a recurring nightmare I had when I was 10. For seven nights, I woke in my dream, walked downstairs and saw a shadowy figure just standing in the living room. Every night he got a little closer and every night I got more and more scared, just waiting for him to make a move. On the sixth night, I was tired of living in fear of going to sleep so I asked my mom what I should do. "Ask him what he wants," she said. I hadn't even realized that was an option. On the seventh night, I asked the shadowy figure, with vitriolic anger mixed with fear, “What do you want from me?!” He vanished. I still get chills on occasion when recalling the emotion from then. The fear. The anger. The Relief.

  • @andredelacerdasantos4439

    Almost all of his paintings have a dark background. I believe that every time he was to begin a new painting, he would first paint the canvas a pure black, which, to me, means that all his paintings are indeed sprouting from the darkness of his unconscious. Although neurosis wasn't mentioned even once in this video, I believe that the recurring theme of the split man represents his neurosis and that of every other adult in his lifetime and ours. Even this man, who was sharply tuned to his greater self, or The Great Man, only began to heal from his neurosis in his late period, which goes to show how unlikely it is to develop an ego that isn't neurotic in modern times. Whatever it is we are moving towards as a species is going against the deepest and most rooted nature of the human animal. We can only heal from this global neurosis once we start seeing ourselves not as a unit, but as duality, while simultaneously giving in to the multiplicity of the unconscious manifestations. Since such a task is so tremendously terrifying, only a handful of people are likely to begin this process, and will only gain significance in the larger scheme of things once we cross some terrible milestone of crisis, when the fear of not giving in to the unconscious is greater than that of resisting it.

    • @andredelacerdasantos4439
      @andredelacerdasantos4439 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      This turning back on duality that is so prevalent in modern times manifests as the us vs them narrative that keeps being fed to us. If we can't consciously direct our paradoxical conflict inward, it projects itself onto our brethren, which makes the process of healing on a mass scale even more unlikely, since it slows our ability to unify in the face of adversity almost to a halt. This is, of course, perfectly transparent in the conflicts of the 20th century, when the idea of the political right and left was consolidated and the fervent supporters of capitalism and socialism were, and still are, at each other's throats. I believe we can only begin to heal ourselves and our environment when we let go of both these systems in favor of an inner law, which manifests spontaneously in each individual. This will, of course, never happen as long as compulsory public education is at work and the pharmaceutical companies rule the practice of medicine.

    As an artist in crisis, unable to make art for a myriad of living conditions, this is very helpful and the paintings provide inspiration, comfort, understanding. I greatly appreciate the analysations which flesh out the meanings in a way that makes sense and speaks to the unconscious for me. It helps me to begin to allow myself to go into my unconscious again. Even outside of making art, they bring comfort in a way that is very needed right now, with political conditions crushing the masses.

Also, interpretation of depression giving us new opportunities struck me, as I made the correlation with Taleb's Black Swans and with my personal observation that the unconscious mind is Extremistan - the realm were Black Swans show up. Of course, Black Swans can be positive and negative.

      You can always ask dream figures what their deal is, if you remember to do it. Sometimes they will even answer you. Sometimes they will even give you coherent answers! A few weeks ago, I dreamad I was flying and saw a rainbow that came down towards me, lifted me up in a rainbow towel for some time, but let me go after some time. I did not understand what it meant, so I called for my anima to explain. She said I needed to put the meat in the refrigerator or it would spoil lol

It never ceases to amaze me how Jung's ideas seem to knit together so many different cultures across the world and the ways in which they seek spiritual meaning and enlightenment or 'resurrection' of the consciousness. I experience incredibly vivid dreams and conscious dream-visions myself and have found Jung's theories immensely helpful in analysing my own psychological landscape to divulge meaning and inspiration from these occurrences.

    Wow.... This was purely beautiful and haunting simultaneously. Truly inspiring. It's interesting that his work wasn't initially met with collective acceptance and awe.. A clear genius here, picking out treasures from the eternal depths of his divinely influenced creative wisdom.
    This video itself was also just fantastic. I'm very happy to have stumbled across it. And to be introduced to this artwork. And to this channel.

    I didn't know about him particularly, but I find it surprising he wasn't known at all especially after there was the surrealist movement in the early 20th century which had artists channeling inspiration from their subconscious.

    This ist great! I had the luck to live in Peter Birkhäuser's house and work in his studio for several years. As we moved in the original paintings (as seen in your video) were just standig and hanging around without protection. I asked a friend of mine to build a penderie for them so they are safe now. Brings back great memories of that place!

    I have not crossed paths with this soul previously. His representations of the complexities of the conflict (?) between our concious and unconcious life are unparalleled. They bring form to emotion and spiritual knowledge. I'm still processing, as I type, as if a weight is being lifted. My own "journey" of awakening has, so far, been largely a lonely one, briefly connecting with individuals along the way. This man has, through his art, made sense of much of my life on so many levels.
    Thank you for your part, in bringing this body of work to light.

I've also been long interested in Lovecraft and lucid dreaming. I found this channel not long after; it has been a great companion piece as I delve deeper into the subject matter. I still need to get something by Samuel Beckett. watching your video on waiting for godot renewed my interest in seeking it out.
