Projecting the occult tinged femme fatale/femme fragile into an oxblood corner of the Guggenheim Museum is to reveal Mystical Symbolism: The Salon de la Rose+Croix in Paris,1892–1897. An annual exhibition created by French Rosicrucian author and critic, Joséphin Péladan, whose cult of personality brought together a multi-disciplinary set of artists, seekers of divine enlightenment. A decadent layering, in response to isolation & imagination, the relationship of art & life, an unhinged spiritual idealist, clothed in a visionary state rife with references.
A collaboration with Editorialist.
