Entrée des médiums : Spiritisme et art d'Hugo à Breton


Charles Hugo, Marine Terrace, 1853-54
"It is a very odd way to make art without pretending to do so. From 1853 till the early 1930s, it was the golden age of spiritism. This form of spirituality helps in solving certain great questions of the century and responds to spiritual needs, in a strangely atheistic and democratic manner which also agrees with scientism. It is quite astounding, and involves many phenomenons, including what we know as table-turning or talking boards, 'talking' tables that deliver a message. Besides these vocal phenomenons, often of highly political content, there are also artistic phenomenons, mostly drawings and some paintings, mixed with poetry."
