RANDOM (Michel) - Lot 229

RANDOM (Michel) Paris, Fernand Nathan, 1975. Large quarto, hardcover with illustrated dust jacket. A major work devoted to manifestations of visionary art throughout the centuries, ranging from mystical, esoteric, and symbolic traditions to contemporary forms of inspired creation. Michel Random brings together a vast array of artists and movements situated at the intersection of the sacred, the imaginary, and the spiritual quest. The particularly extensive illustrations include paintings, drawings, illuminations, sculptures, and Symbolist or fantastical works rarely brought together in a single volume. The book remains a standard reference for the study of visionary movements, inspired art, and alternative forms of creation. A beautiful copy with an illustrated dust jacket.
