Okultní umění - Vizuální příručka moderního mystika – Elizabeth S. (2022)

A visual feast of artworks informed and inspired by spiritual movements, magical techniques, and experiences from another world. Mystical and occult practices reach back centuries into the past, and since the Age of Enlightenment, creators of visions have been drawn to esotericism. From the zodiac and alchemy to theosophy and Kabbalah; from spiritualism and ritual magic to elements and sacred geometry – what actually attracts artists to these unknown realms? S. Elizabeth has carefully curated over 175 artworks in her book, Occult Art, striving to clarify the mysteries of nature and the human condition. Meet the automatic drawings of Hilma af Klint and Madge Gill, the surrealist interpretations of alchemy and Kabbalah by Leonora Carrington, the visionary world of Vali Myers, photographers exploring identity through witchcraft; and many other works that transcend the boundaries of time and space. Occult Art presents leading figures of artistic movements, contemporary icons, overlooked and lesser-known artists, and brings inspiration and delight. This book is intended for all enthusiasts of magic, mysticism, and the mysterious.
