MODERN ART | ESOTERIC

Twentieth-century occult artist Paulina Peavy (1901-1999) produced art centered around beings and forces beyond the visible plane.  Paulina Peavy Etherian Channeler is the first biography on her as well as a survey of her paintings, drawings, masks, films, poetry, and complex philosophical cosmology. The publication follows her trajectory from childhood in Oregon to adulthood in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, and later years in New York City, as she created figurative art influenced by Surrealism and later abstractions suggestive of maps of the cosmos.
