unexplained-events: Book: Catalogue of the Spirit Drawings in Water Colours, Exhibited at the New British Gallery, Old Bond Street (London: 1871) Artist: Georgiana HoughtonGeorgiana worked as an artist during the height of the Victorian craze for spiritualism. She claimed all her work came to her from the beyond. She stated that spirits not only communicated with her, they also guided her hand during the artistic process.All her cosmic designs are spirit drawings, made by the hand of Georgiana Houghton yet created by the spirits of the dead working through her. A lot of people saw her as eccentric and dismissed her. She is often considered one of the first abstract artists but had been forgotten until recently when her work was exhibited in LondonSOURCE -- source link
