Abstract	A new wave of spirituality swept Europe and the United States during the early twentieth century, manifesting in a wide variety of movements such as Theosophy, Christian Science, Spiritualism and the Baha'i faith. As a central premise, these philosophies shared a mystical belief in the spiritual interconnectedness of all existence. This well-documented Western 'mystical revival' had a profound impact on the modernist avant-garde. This chapter examines the techniques developed by several modern artists as a means of conveying the spiritual 'oneness' that they believed underpinned the visible world. Inspired by their spiritual convictions, they were confident that making a sense of transcendental unity palpable to others was the true and higher purpose of art. The communication of this hidden knowledge through their work, they felt sure, would further the enlightenment of humankind and change society for the better.
