Visions of the Occult
“The word ‘occult’ comes from the latin occulus, meaning ‘hidden.’ The underlying assumption is that there is another, unseen world beyond that of the day-to-day existence—with magic offering the possibility of connecting these two worlds.” —Christopher Dell, from The Occult, Witchcraft & Magic (2016)
This lavishly illustrated magical volume acts a potent talisman connecting the two worlds of Tate—the seen public collection and the unseen secrets lurking in the archive. The pages of this book explore the hidden artworks and ephemera left behind by artists for the first time and will shed new light on our understanding of the art historical canon. Expect to find the unexpected with artists such as Ithell Colquhoun, John Nash, Barbara Hepworth, David Mayor, Maxwell Armfield, Cecil Collins, Jill Smith and Bruce Lacey, Francis Bacon, Alan Davie, Joe Tilson, Henry Moore, William Blake, Leonora Carrington, and Hamish Fulton.
For the first time, the clandestine, magical works of the Tate archive are revealed with archivist Victoria Jenkins acting as the depositary of its secrets. This book explores the symbiotic relationship between art and the occult and how both can act as a form of resistance to challenging environments. Visions of the Occult will change perceptions forever and illuminate the surprising breadth and extraordinary ways in which artists interpret not just the physical world around them but also the supernatural, and in doing so, make the unseen, seen. If you think you know Tate artists, it’s time to think again.

Reviews for "The Trials and Tribulations of Being a Mascot: Picking Up the Pieces After a Fall"
1. John - 2/5
I didn't enjoy "Mascot gets knocked over" as much as I thought I would. While the premise of a mascot getting knocked over sounded interesting, the execution fell short. The story lacked depth and the characters felt one-dimensional. Additionally, the humor was forced and fell flat in many scenes. Overall, I found the film to be disappointing and would not recommend it.
2. Sarah - 2/5
"Mascot gets knocked over" was a letdown for me. The storyline seemed promising, but it quickly became predictable and cliché. The humor was juvenile and relied too heavily on slapstick comedy. I was hoping for more complex characters and a deeper exploration of themes, but unfortunately, the film fell short in these aspects. The pacing was also slow, and I found myself losing interest as the story progressed. Overall, I would not recommend this film to others looking for a quality comedy.
3. Max - 1/5
I found "Mascot gets knocked over" to be completely unfunny and a waste of time. The jokes were juvenile and relied heavily on physical comedy that was not appealing. The characters were poorly developed, and the acting felt wooden and unconvincing. The storyline lacked originality and failed to engage me. Overall, this film was a disappointment and I regretted watching it. I do not recommend wasting your time on this mediocre comedy.
4. Lisa - 2/5
Unfortunately, "Mascot gets knocked over" fell flat for me. The concept of a mascot getting knocked over seemed like it had potential, but the execution did not live up to expectations. The humor felt forced, and I didn't find myself laughing as much as I had hoped. The characters were forgettable, and the plot lacked depth. While some scenes had their moments, overall, the film failed to leave a lasting impression. I wouldn't recommend this movie to others unless they are looking for mindless, slapstick comedy.
