Abstract Brief introduction to this issue. Various exhibitions in the past few decades have shown that Western spirituality in general and occultism in particular have played an important role in modern art. Christopher Partridge’s concept of "occulture" serves well as an analytical tool for exploring the role of occultism in modern art and the lives of modern artists.
