The present paper analyses the painting “The Henry Ford Hospital or Flying Bed” (1932) by Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderon (1907-1954) and the painting “Guernica” by Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881-1973), with the theoretical support in the based on the concept of archetype from the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Considering as background the reading of signs, from a perspective of the Peircean theory, we consider that the archetypes of life and death are portrayed in the two artworks and, furthermore, there is a subjectivity bias in which each artist manifests something that is common to all human beings (archetypes), passing over, tacitly, the collective and individual pain through depicted images. It is also our intent to work with the interdisciplinarity between the profound psychology (Analytic) and pictorial arts.
