Austin Osman Spare

Austin Osman Spare was a British artist and occultist who played a significant role in the development of twentieth-century British art. His unique style of art blended mysticism, automatism, and symbolism, resulting in works that are often characterized by their dreamlike, surreal quality. Spare believed that art should be a means of self-expression and communication, and as such his works often contain a combination of personal symbols and abstract forms. He was an innovator who was never afraid to explore new avenues of creativity, and his works have been credited with introducing a new level of abstraction to the art world. In addition to his artwork, Spare was also a prolific writer, producing a number of works on the topics of magic and mysticism which have been influential in the fields of spirituality, philosophy, and occultism. He believed that magic was a way of accessing the unconscious mind and that it could be used to achieve personal transformation and spiritual enlightenment. Spare's writings on magic and mysticism have been praised for their clarity and accessibility, and they continue to be studied and discussed by scholars and practitioners of the occult. Despite his significant contributions to the art world and the occult, Spare remained relatively unknown during his lifetime. It was only after his death that his works began to gain wider recognition and appreciation. Today, his works are considered to be some of the most important contributions to the development of twentieth-century British art, and they continue to be admired for their expressive style and ability to evoke strong emotions.
