Art as Magick, from Austin Osman Spare to Michael Bertiaux: an inquiry on automatic drawing, art brut and psychic art

In this talk the focus will be on analysing the spiritual power and the magic possibilities of art. Starting from the automatic drawings of Austin Osman Spare who gave us a method of dealing with our inner impulses which can be rendered alive via the pencil we will see also as some currents of arts like Art Brut and Self-Taught Art are deeply involved in the art of drawing as a contact with the invisible world and the spirits. Art as self expression become fundamental for people who need to expose their own universes and visions, as the Esoteric Master Michael Bertiaux who has dedicated himself in the last decades to express his visions via art and painting and expressing an universe of powerful magick figures of deep meaning.
