Spirit and Art
作者 Pictures of the Transformation of Consciousness
Van James
中文說明   
英文說明

A moving initiation into the sources of the spiritual in art. Van James explores for the
reader a visual account of consciousness in the images, symbols and sacred sites from
prehistoric times to the present. The book opens our perception to spiritual truths,
provides glimpses into primal awareness, and will surely ignite the creative imagination
of the artist in all of us. —
Astrid Fitzgerald, author of The Artist's Book of Inspiration 
and 
Being Consciousness Bliss

  • “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 Einstein’s comment
applies: “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source
of all true art and science.”

“This coffee-table book on sacred art has a rather unique twist: It concentrates on
art that reveals "the transformation of consciousness," narrowing in particularly
on images from ancient mystery cults and cave drawings from Paleolithic times.
James has selected art from ancient Greece, Egypt, Africa, and parts of Asia,
explicating what he sees as its spiritual themes. This is in some ways a personal
book, as its selections are eclectic and highly individual, but the text is also rigorous,
informed by theorists such as Mircea Eliade, Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and
especially Rudolf Steiner. One wishes that the 300-plus illustrations were larger
and in color, but an eight-page color tip-in helps to stimulate visual interest.”
