Another World: The Transcendental Painting Group is a beautifully produced and richly illustrated monograph edited by Michael Duncan, with essays by Scott Shields, MaLin Wilson‑Powell, Catherine Whitney, Ilene Susan Fort, and Dane Rudhyar, that re‑examines the visionary work of the Transcendental Painting Group—a collective of artists in 1930s–40s New Mexico who pursued abstraction as a spiritual and idealistic practice. Founded in 1938 as an alternative to dominant realist trends, the Transcendental Painting Group sought to convey enlightenment, spiritual illumination, and transcendent experience through color, form, and light, positioning their work within a broader history of modernism and esoteric thought. The volume combines scholarly essays, archival material, and sumptuous reproductions to situate these under‑recognized artists as crucial contributors to twentieth‑century American abstraction, illuminating their profound engagement with Theosophy, inner vision, and creative freedom. Another World is an essential and evocative exploration for admirers of American modern art and the intersection of mysticism and abstraction.
