ART OF THE UNKNOWN (HB)

What lurks at the edges of human perception? Across time and cultures, artists have found themselves drawn to document encounters with forces and phenomena that defy comprehension, from ghostly manifestations and cosmic energies to twilight realms and parallel dimensions. While science seeks answers, artists illuminate the unknown through intuition, imagination and vision, creating visual records of the esoteric, the uncanny and the unexplainable. This book brings together nearly 200 artworks that delve into the limits of perception and belief, for example William Blake’s celestial visions and Penny Slinger's spectral photographs, alongside many, many more.
