Remembering Harry A. Wilmer, II

Abstract

Harry A. Wilmer II Our readers have the opportunity to remember Jungian analyst Harry Wilmer through a colleague’s unexpected receipt of a large collection of Harry’s intellectual and artistic estate. What then was a surprising discovery led to a desire to present the artistic work of this gifted analyst framed by vignettes from his life. Taken as a whole, Harry’s work is voluminous. Here, we present snapshots of a prolific professional life. In my introduction I describe my coming to know Harry, which is followed by two beautifully written personal pieces of remembrance from Betty Sue Flowers and Susan Negley. A transcript of Harry’s talk on the “Symbology of Yarn Paintings” precedes the curated display of his painting.
