Metaphysical art, as a book category, covers works that explore the intersection of visual art and metaphysical inquiry—books about art that grapples with questions of being, time, memory, the uncanny and the transcendent rather than purely formalist concerns. It includes art histories and criticism (for example studies of Pittura Metafisica and Giorgio de Chirico), artist monographs and exhibition catalogs, theoretical and philosophical essays on symbolism, dream imagery and the visible/invisible, as well as poetry, fiction and practical guides that use aesthetic practice to probe spiritual, existential or ontological themes. Typical subjects are symbolic imagery, empty or uncanny spaces, archetypes, ritual and myth in modern and contemporary art, and the ways art mediates inner experience and metaphysical ideas—appealing to scholars, artists, and general readers interested in art’s capacity to ask and suggest beyond the material world.
