Mystic and occult practices date back centuries, but why do we still chase the esoteric? Over the past two hundred years, image-makers have been drawn to these unknown spheres and have created curious artworks that transcend time and place - but what is it that attracts artists to these magical realms? From theosophy and kabbalah, to the zodiac and alchemy; spiritualism and ceremonial magic, to the elements and sacred geometry - The Art of the Occult will introduce major occult themes and showcase the artists who have been influenced and led by them. Discover the symbolic and mythical images of the Pre-Raphaelites, the automatic drawing of Hilma af Klint and Madge Gill, Leonora Carrington's surrealist interpretation of myth, alchemy and kabbalah, the theosophical practices of Mondrian and Kandinsky, and many more.
