  • Homage To Ernst Fuchs

    Published in Mythos

    The art of Fuchs forces an examination of the Western roots of spirituality, affirming revelatory spiritual power within Christianity. In the wake of Darwinism, and the world wars this has not been a popular position. And yet Fuchs himself had to work through the perplexities and obscurities, and the devestation of post-war Europe, to find the shining pearl hidden in the mire of matter.

  • Woman, Neoteny, Art, and Evolution

    Published in Deep Ecology

    A facinating theory of evolution which integrates the role of matrifocal socieities and the role of art into the mix. “Culture requires brains, and brains of that immense degree were never necessary in any other animal.

  • Visionary Art: The Vanguard of Tradition by Erik Davis

    Published in Visionary Art Culture


    “Gaia”, painting by Alex Grey - www.alexgrey.com
    Stretching out like one of the Buddha’s great bejeweled parasols, the term Visionary Art encompasses a wide variety of styles, genres, periods, and degrees of abstraction. Definitions abound, but here is my hard crystal: visionary art is art that resonates with visionary experiences, those undeniably powerful eruptions of numinous and multidimensional perception that suggest other orders of reality.
