Krátky popis
It's not so long ago that a woman's expressed interest in other
realms would have ruined her reputation, or even killed her. And
yet spiritualism, in various incarnations, has influenced numerous
men - including lauded modernist artists such as Wassily Kandinsky,
Piet Mondrian, Kazimir Malevich and Paul Klee - without
repercussion. The fact that so many radical women artists of their
generation - and earlier - also drank deeply from the same
spiritual well has for too long been sorely neglected.In THE OTHER
SIDE, we explore the lives and work of a group of extraordinary
women, from the twelfth-century mystic, composer and artist
Hildegard of Bingen to the nineteenth-century English spiritualist
Georgiana Houghton, whose paintings swirl like a cosmic Jackson
Pollock, the early twentieth-century Swedish artist, Hilma af
Klint, who painted with the help of her spirit guides and whose
recent exhibition at New York's Guggenheim broke all attendance
records, the 'Desert Transcendentalist', Agnes Pelton, who painted
her visions beneath the vast skies of California, the Swiss healer,
Emma Kunz, who used geometric drawings to treat her patients, and
the British surrealist and occultist, Ithell Colquhoun, whose
estate of more than 5,000 works recently entered the Tate gallery
collection. While the individual work of these artists is unique,
the women loosely shared the same goal: to communicate with, and
learn from, other dimensions.Weaving in and out of these myriad
lives, sharing her own memories of otherworldly experiences,
Jennifer Higgie discusses the solace of ritual, the gender
exclusions of art history, the contemporary relevance of myth, the
boom in alternative ways of understanding the world and the impact
of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. A radical
reappraisal of a marginalised group of artists, THE OTHER SIDE is
an intoxicating blend of memoir, biography and art history.
