Abstract:

Through her study Matic offers a provocative and risky speculative vision of the influence of the Blavatsky’s anthroposophical tradition of on the formation of abstractionism under Kandinsky. Only by following the course of her exposition, accompanied by evidential pictorial material, do we succeed in convincing ourselves of the validity of the hypothesis she has developed and its transformation into a thesis.

Keywords:

anthroposophy; abstractionism; objectless painting; mimesis; thought-form; aura
