"I read this in anticipation of possibly leading a class on Spirituality and Art...and as a primer of sorts on the early thoughts about the connection between Spirituality and the Arts, especially connected with Modern art into abstraction. Some of his thoughts are brilliian and prescient; some really are parallel to Dewey, James and the like philosophers, along with Dr. Albert Barnes, and some of it comes off as purely bunkish guesses...but that is the issue with ground-breaking writing and thought, and particularly about something as numinous and difficult as early abstraction: it ends up breaking not only fresh ground, but hoeing rows completely in the wrong direction. Overall, it is very good; very helpful and prescient by far. Many comments he let open for "future art" really point directly to sound art, installation art, etc. which is amazing. The art world's Verne!"
"I was not aware of the intrinsic relation between form and color. Plus, I found completely stimulating (just by reading) his description of contrasting colors, their antagonisms and synthesis. Apparently while yellow warmly moves, blue is coldly inert, the former expressing a bodily experience, the latter spiritual. An the "theory" goes on. I would never thought of green as stationary, yet he made me wonder...
I won't get into his argument about the artist as king. I will just retain the "language of form and color.""
