Spirit and Art – Van James (Paperback / Soft Cover)

Pictures of the Transformation of Consciousness

“As an art student in the late sixties, I recall how painfully dry and intellectual my art history classes were. I thought to myself, or rather felt to myself, There must be something more”(Van James). Artist Van James offers that something more. This is a richly readable and lavishly illustrated text that reveals how, at every stage, human consciousness has evolved through the medium of art. It makes the case for a hidden stream that has put forth art works and art movements throughout history, in an ongoing visible revelation of invisible spiritual currents. Art, originally a part of the secret Mystery cults of the ancient world, has become an expression of the individual creative intuition. At every stage, Albert Einsteins comment applies:”The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.”
