Chapter Six considers Fr Pavel Florensky’s religious concept of the invisible world. This unseen spiritual realm is superior to the visible world and is accessible to the artist. Florensky’s Russian Orthodox beliefs are shown to be compatible with Kandinsky’s, insights from the former confirming Kandinsky’s strong connection with the Eastern Church. For Florensky and Kandinsky, the image functions like a religious icon; an encounter with spiritual presence, and a window onto the invisible world. The icon is further discussed in relation to Andy Warhol’s art, who is considered here to be a religious artist.
