001380205 520__ $$aAmong the lesser known artifacts of Shakerism are many elaborate drawings and paintings produced under inspiration between 1839 and 1859. In a community which generally prohibited images, believers intended these exceptional religious pictures to enhance spiritual vision; the images thus functioned as "spiritual spectacles." In depictions of celestial places, objects, and people, viewers could see spiritual things as though possessing "corrected" spiritual sight. Spiritual Spectacles explores this neglected but illuminating aspect of Shaker visual culture. By 1837, an increasingly troublesome sense of distance from charismatic founder Ann Lee (1736-84) and her immediate converts permeated Shaker experience. In format, conception, and composition, Shaker images addressed this situation, restoring relationships by providing visual access to the Shaker "heavenly sphere" and its inhabitants. Artfully navigating the official proscription of images, visionary paintings and drawings became powerful religious resources. Sally M. Promey submits these remarkable products of Shaker revival to careful and sustained visual analysis and locates them firmly in the appropriate religious and cultural contexts. She traces the movement from vision to image within Shaker spirituality and demonstrates the essential connection between visionary experience and visual image. She explains how Shaker image-makers attempted to reconnect the earthly community with heaven and its inhabitants and to restore the zeal and personalities of earlier times. Furthermore, she suggests that Shaker reservations about pictures intensified and made explicit the usually veiled but nonetheless consistent anti-iconic impulses that punctuate American cultural history. Within communal borders and on their own terms, Shakers participated in an ongoing national debate about the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, morality and beauty, religion and art. A significant contribution to the study of Shaker images and the culture(s) which produced them, Spiritual Spectacles adds an important voice to the interdisciplinary dialogue between the history of art and the history of religion.
