It is time for Visionary art to take its
place in art history. Visionary art is a
meaningful genealogy of symbolism.
Symbolism in the 19th century
occurred as a reaction to the cold and
scientific debut to the industrial age.
It used ideas to build illusions in the
way that Borges did with his writing.
Symbolism represents the natural world
with a beautiful lie. It illustrates the
vision of psychedelic consciousness
by using classical techniques. It is
a primitive instinct taking on the
decorative form of symbolism.
