Virtual Art Exhibit – Faust in Precious Stone

In Goethe’s Faust Jung found a key to understanding how individual consciousness is integrated with the personal as well as the collective unconscious.  The images in the cameo collection “Faust in Precious Stone” capture the story of a dialogue between God and the Devil, a pact made with the Devil, a hedonistic journey, encounters with the shadow, a tragic fall, encounters with the numinous and transformation.

The images in this virtual art exhibit were provided by the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art in Chicago. They are beautifully presented in a striking book by Bruce McKay titled “Faust in Precious Stone: Cameo Carvings by Hans Dieter Roth and Andreas Roth”.
