The Rebirth of the Unifying Link of the Real in the Paintings of Kandinsky e Rothko in the Light of New Age Spirituality

Abstract

In every age and culture, art represents a vision of the world, the apprehension of the real objective and subjective, strongly determined by the dominant religious beliefs. From the Renaissance the demystification of the world led to his disenchantment. In art, particularly in painting, this has motivated the search for new plastic integrating elements to reading the whole of artworks. In the present days, the entitled post art emphasizes art for art and the fragmentation of the real, which signaling the loss of existential meaning and the spiritual in the apprehension of the world. Still, as much as we can conclude, we found in Kandinsky's and Rothko artworks a unified real representation, whose full understanding becomes possible only in the light of the mythic narrative of the New Age spirituality, that is abstract, quantum and cosmologic.
