Spirituality and Art

Art in all of its forms can be useful in creating spiritual experience. Some specific movements are seen to have a very spiritual dimension. Impressionism is seen as spiritual by some because its subject matter is often nature and conveys a sense of serenity. The blurring of images so that boundaries are not completely distinct and merge into one another also provide a link to spirituality and the notion of oneness.

Romanticism as a movement looked for spirituality outside of religious themes. Even abstract art of the modern era is often concerned with the spiritual, although this is usually at a rational level rather than through experience.
