Art - Religion - Anthropology - Ritual
EXPLAINED!

The Human evolutionary animal is a very recent phenomenon in cosmic terms, civilisation only stretching back a few thousand years. As such it is uniquely possible to trace back the underlying constant and cross-cultural factors in human development and to examine the universal psychological imprints that are continuously mirrored in social and cultural activity.

This book ambitiously reveals the common root of art and religion in the psychological essence of ritual procedures as practised universally in human societies since the very beginnings of human consciousness.

The author utilises his own radical developmental experiences as an abstract painter and as a psychoanalyst to analyse the fundamental inner processes that are transposed into the wider cultural arena of the creative process as manifested both in art practice and in religious mystical conversion experience as well as in their common anthropological root in the passages of ritual.

Essentially, the book explains where religion and art come from and how they are embedded in the embryonic capsule of timeless ritual, which in its turn is a parallel amalgam of psychological developmental and maturational processes.

This indepth work covers:

Art
Paintings
Abstraction
Anthropology
Trance
Ritual
Tribal Sculpture
