This book conclusively reveals that fourth dimension theories and related spiritual quests constitute, at the very least, a key pillar in the development of modern art, if not its foundation. The book gives the lie to strictly formalist interpretations of the historic impetus for modern art. Perhaps more importantly, it highlights that vast amounts of art history omits the intended metaphysical content of early modern painting. If the record were set straight sooner, one wonders whether the trajectory of art would have led to contemporary art that is more substantive and enriching than it so often is. Artists such as Brice Marden, Agnes Martin, Astrid Colomar, Anne Truitt and others whose work is infused with spiritual depth would be seen as those whose work is most linked to, rather than most divorced from, the artistic heritage of modernism. With even out-of-print paperback copies of this ground-breaking book selling for well over $100, a new printing would be as welcomed as it is deserved.

One should not practice so-called fine arts without reading this book!!! One should be able to fill the b l a n k in his/her understanding of the contemporary relationship between arts & science! Worthy of your valuable time!

i highly recommend this book to anyone interested in turn of the century art and/or concepts of higher space. very insightful on a subject once widespread and now obscure, i.e. the fourth dimension.
