Contents:

The result of years of research, the seventeen essays in this provocative book provide a radical thinking of abstraction, from the Symbolism that prefigured abstract art through the current manifestations of spiritual content in American and European painting.
Special attention is paid to the pioneers of nonrepresentational art- Wasily Kandinsky, Frantisek Kupka, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian - and to other masters, such as Jean Arpand, Jackson Pollock, whose connection to the spiritual has been largely over looked.
An invaluable glossary offers lucid explanations of concepts such as alchemy and Anthroposophy as well as making clear the distinctions between mysticism, spiritualism, and the occult, which have often been confused.
