I thought to myself, or rather felt to myself, 'There must be something more'\" --\u003cb\u003eVan James\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtist Van James offers that something more. This is a richly readable and lavishly illustrated text that reveals how, at every stage, human consciousness has evolved through the medium of art. It makes the case for a hidden stream that has put forth art works and art movements throughout history, in an ongoing visible revelation of invisible spiritual currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArt, originally a part of the secret Mystery cults of the ancient world, has become an expression of the individual creative intuition. At every stage, Albert Einstein's comment applies: \"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Van James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 088010497X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780880104975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steiner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.78w x 0.77d","brand":"Van James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054875701503,"sku":"9780880104975","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b5be9772-7bd5-4486-bb79-828b6e603385.jpg?v=1685032495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spirit-and-art-van-james-9780880104975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
