El proyecto holístico de Emma Kunz: cuando el arte se convierte en algo más

Abstract

The Swiss artist Emma Kunz (1892-1963) developed a rich production of energetic patterns, which assumed a visual and symbolic proximity to yantras and mandalas. Although no reliable data have been found in this regard, according to the bibliography consulted, as well as the contributions made by the creator's own museum, it is believed that she read the alchemical literature of Paracelsus and Christian texts, as well as written sources of hermetic schools. The majority of her graphics was made for therapeutic purposes, in the belief that they emitted a wave form in a way that could affect the patient or viewer when they were viewed.
