Portraits at the Stock Exchange; pastel by Edgar Degas, c. 1879.

Although very unusual for its time, or any time, Jung’s relationship with both Emma and Toni was openly known. It had a public face at social gatherings and international lectures as well as its private aspect.

FAMILY LIFE

The five Jung children were brought up along liberal lines, with their father teaching them comparative religions and allowing them their choice of Sunday schools, confirmation, and careers. Playtime with the children was an essential part of holidays and weekends. Before Bollingen there was a vacation island at the upper end of Lake Zürich where natural living was the mode. They lived in tents; firewood came from the forest and water from the lake. Creative games were invented around natural objects of wood, sand, and stone, or played on boats where “Papa” Jung was captain to the children’s boatmen.

Jung loved to work with his hands – painting, chiseling, building models of ships – often involving the children’s participation while telling them stories that spurred their imagination. Hikes in the forest, sailing, cycling, or working in the garden were also shared with family and a few close friends.

Franz Jung, who once described his father as “maddening and marvelous” helped him build his retreat at Bollingen. In 1928 the Jungs bought their first automobile, a family car they called “Lina,” to which Jung added a red two-seater sports car.
