He is one of many artists of the first half of the twentieth century who demonstrates the richness and diversity of an under-appreciated period in the history of American art. Visualizing the spiritual was one of the fundamental goals of early abstract painting in the years before and during World War I. Artists turned to alternative spirituality, the occult, and mysticism, believing that the pure use of line, shape, color, light, and texture could convey spiritual insights. Jonson was steadfastly dedicated to this goal for most of his career, and he always believed that modernist and abstract styles were the most effective and compelling means of achieving it. 600 10 Jonson, Raymond, |d1891-1982 |xCriticism and interpretation. 600 17 Jonson, Raymond, |d1891-1982. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01493335 650 0 Spiritualism in art. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh97001025 650 0 Painting, Abstract |zUnited States. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85096684 650 7 Painting, Abstract. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01050640 650 7 Spiritualism in art. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01130182 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 Routledge research in art history 902 jar |bm |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20181029 904 jar |ba |hm |cb |e20181029 914 (OCoLC)on1008875415 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240501 |eprocessed |f1008875415
