Lipsey describes the social and political scene that surrounded each of the major styles in art that emerged in the twentieth century and describes the art forms and thinking of many of the well-known artists within each movement—Cézanne's relentless pursuit of the essence of nature, Kandinsky's definitions of the spiritual quality of color and form, the poetry of structure in Cubism, Dada and Duchamp in reaction to World War I, the Russian Avant-Garde and Malevich's Suprematism as integral to the Revolution of 1917, and the domination of abstract art after World War II. Lipsey's theme is that "Twentieth-century art embodied a stronger and wiser spirituality than we have fully acknowledged" (p. 5), and his choice of artists is governed not by the degree of their fame, but by the degree to which they succeeded in embodying a contemporary spirituality. Modern art is a statement of philosophy that differs from previous eras, Lipsey posits, in part because "twentieth-century artists have for the most part worked individually and without formal adherence to religious or spiritual traditions" (p. 11). Lipsey's careful and thoughtful exploration of the spiritual in twentieth-century art has enormously enlarged my ability to see abstract art and benefit from the experience.

Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)
This work explores the spiritual intentions and achievements of 20th-century art from the Cubist revolution to Postmodernism. The book reveals that many artists considered the spirit as seriously as they regarded their palette. It looks at artists such as: Kandinsky and Mondrian, who were Theosophists; Rouault and Warhol, who were devout Catholics; and many other artists including Rothko, O'Keefe and Hepworth, who are understood in a fresh way through their own writings and through a thorough examination of their art.
