An Art Of Our Own by Roger Lipsey

The Spiritual in Twentieth-Century Art

It traces the emergence of a distinctly spiritual strand in twentieth-century modernism, showing how artists such as Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich rejected representational aims in favor of abstract forms meant to convey inner experience and transcendence. The book situates these artists within currents like Theosophy and mysticism, blending art-historical narrative with critical interpretation to argue that this movement sought to restore spiritual meaning to a secular, materialist culture.
