Recenzje

"Spiritualism, spirituality and art are not normally terms which are written or spoken together. Historically, spiritualism, a religious practice since 1848, and spirituality, a concept thought of as a presence or spiritual 'immanence' within the self (Charlene Spretnak, Spiritual Dynamic in Modern Art), and art have never been good bedfellows. Here Barnes's book notes the importance of spirituality in art through the lens of spiritualistic practice by rare spirit artists bringing a new vitality to the innermost core of art." -Ann Bridge Davies, Spiritualist art historian, spirit artist and founder of the six classifications of Spiritualist art
