            Magic and Symbolism in the Art” written by Margaretha Gubernale
            An Anthroposophist succeeds most likely in defining the nature of art,
            if he understands the thread that should be noted, which more or less
            runs through the historical development. The mystical, divine-oriented
            symbolism of the upper paleolithic of homo sapiens leads, gradually
            perfecting, to culminate via detours in the modern mystical symbolism,
            in order to reveal magic, beyond mathematical laws. Such an art expert
            unveils the true face of the art, in particular how artists strive in different
            ways to the same revelation, namely to the Akasha or the divine cosmos.
            That is why postmodern artists integrate in their thinking every religion,
            every race and every origin, because what they want is beyond the human
            mind. They are therefore particularly strongly attracted to symbolism,
            because their allegorical language allows them to grope into the unknown
            and channel the taste of the untouchable, incomprehensible, in the
            finiteness. The art of the future emphasizes even the original, targeted
            value from the archaic past in which the spiritual element first entered
                                                                   brought him through the parabolic expression in physical and figurative
            the matter and later the Divine in the people made its way. The symbolism
                                                                   form large cultural merits. At the same time it programmed the value of
                                                                   the future in a full immersion in the divine. Symbolism guides as magic
                                                                   on a staircase to the universe, which does not exclude the material way,
                                                                   but rather includes it, as well as the idea of a staircase can never be only
                                                                   mental. The former vague idea must be readable and plastically manifest.
                                                                   It is the magical language in the art, the Jod-He-Vau-He, the word through
                                                                   all five senses, which the human being picks up by his four poles, namely
                                                                   as the water in the feeling, as air in the intellect, as the earth in the body
                                                                   and as the fire in the self-consciousness by the symbolism, which is the
                                                                   original element and also will be the last under the all-embracing Akasha.
