The Yellowing of the Work
By James Hillman, Alain Guy-Gillet, Monique Salzmann
English
The author refers to alchemistic sources to show how colors are “inherent to objects” rather than “secondary qualities attributable to our subjective vision”. He studies in particular the beneficial and harmful properties of the color yellow, the sulfur of the alchemists, “active principle of Creation and thus of human life”, illustrating these reflections with a clinical case study.
