Art & Spirituality

What place does spirituality have in contemporary culture?

What relationship did Kandinsky's writing have to the fauve and post imprssionist tradition? How was paint made during that time? How common were intense colors like red? Conversely, our culture is saturated with color.

How does spirtuality engage a critical discourse? Is spiritually inspired art too idealistic? How has the public impression of art shifted, i.e. the veneration of abstract art (often aligned with spiritual components) altered our contemporary understanding of both art and spirituality?
