Description
The Other Side: A Journey Into Women, Art and the Spirit World For centuries, women have been drawn to the spiritual realm, yet their contributions to the world of art have often been overlooked. This book explores the lives and work of a group of extraordinary women who, like their male counterparts, were influenced by spiritualism and the supernatural. From Hildegard of Bingen to Agnes Pelton, and from Hilma af Klint to Ithell Colquhoun, these women shared a common goal: to communicate with and learn from other dimensions. Through their art and writings, they sought to transcend the material world and connect with the unknown. Jennifer Higgie weaves together the stories of these women, revealing the ways in which spiritualism has shaped their work and continues to influence contemporary art. This book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of art, spirituality, and feminism, and offers a fresh perspective on the role of women in the history of art.
