The Visionary Art Show

March 10th, 2008 by Jon Beinart

Zeljko Djurovic’s GalleryThe Magical Mystery Tour - Visionary Art Exhibition.

The organisers of Landau Traveling Exhibitions believe that it is important for art museums to connect with the community by reflecting what is relevant to society at any given moment. Visionary Art, the result of man’s artistic journey through his psyche as artistically portrayed through the evolution of the historical art movements, is certainly not a trend. It is now a part of history, and deserves the participation of the art world in presenting this art form.

This Visionary Art Show focuses on the art of painting; it represents the Visionary Art from the last half of the twentieth century, from the formation of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism in 1946, to the psychedelic school of the 1960’s and 1970’s, to the digital present.  However, it is important to trace the thread of visionary art as it weaves its way throughout the history of painting, in order to better understand and appreciate these more recent schools.

The Visionary Art Show consists of four (4) major groups from around the world. The European Group includes, Arik Brauer, L. Caruana, Zeljko Djurovic, Ernst Fuchs, HR Giger, Rudolf Hausner, Erik Heyninck, Hundertwasser, Wolfgang Hutter, Hanna Kay, Anton Lehmden, Ljuba, Dieter Schwertberger and, Eli Tiunine. The American group features, Isaac Abrams, Allen Atwell, Lee Barslaag, Linda Gardner, Andrew Gonzalez, Alex Grey, Carol Herzer, Martina Hoffman, Philip Rubinov Jacobson, Mati Klarwein, Brigid Marlin, Angelo Miranda, Richard Sica, Olga Spiegel, Surya Das, Roman Villagrana and Robert Venosa. The Asians are Yoshitaka Amano, Chalermchai Kositpipat. The California group stars Lee Conklin, Robert Fried, Rick Griffin, Alton Kelly, Bonnie MacLean, Peter Max, Vincent Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, Wes Wilson, and others to numerous to name.
