There is a mystical beauty to be achieved, as we all know, through art. It conveys a general sense of beauty, colour, and inspiration, and thus it clothes and veils ideas. There is an occult (hidden) beauty also to be achieved in the field of art. That conveys a different sense of beauty, colour, and inspiration, clothed in those forms which reveal ideas. Mystical beauty veils, in beauty, the ideal. Occult beauty reveals, in beauty, the ideal. -
