Ayn Rand, Piekoff and the Jungian Shadow

Rand and Piekoff talk a lot about romantic art.

They talk about how art symbolises metaphysical and ethical values and ideals (I believe).

They also talk about art relating to people based on their values.

I saw a talk between Jordan Peterson and some Rand philosophers. He raised a point where for a lot of people - especially those that are hurt or confused - using symbolic narratives and Jungian archetypes, helps them understand, take action and solve very serious life problems.

My question is, is there a relation between how Rand and Piekoff describe romantic art and relatable symbolic archetypes?
