“As a result, my paintings are small dramas in color, whose right to exist stems from the nature of color impression.” G. Jung
Jung was a self-taught painter. He particularly chose to include his Expressionist tendencies. The closeness to Cubist imagery, otherwise hardly used in Austria, highlights parallels to Max Oppenheimer. His oeuvre is especially important for Austrian painting not just because of its Cubist formal vocabulary but also due to its contribution to New Objectivity.
From 1924 to 1938, he was a member of the Hagenbund and of the Vienna Secession. From 1942, he was prohibited from exhibiting and was considered degenerate. The artist remains part of the Avantgarde even after 1945.
