Talk:Andrée Le Coultre

Spiritualist tradition in art
The first sentence of the French article mentions both Le Coultre's cubist as well as "spiritualist" traditions and gives equal weight to both. I haven't found anything about what the "spiritualist" tradition in art might be in her case, or in general. The closest I've come is the mention of Albert Gleizes's theoretical work on the "spirituality of art since the Middle Ages" but nothing solid enough to connect to Le Coultre, or even to explain what is meant by the term. As a consequence, I've dropped "spiritualist" from the article until we can find something more concrete. Mathglot (talk) 20:48, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I was wondering about that. I wonder if they mean "spiritualist" in the everyday, religious sense, or even just using it to mean church art? Le Coultre was involved in one project of that type in the St Joseph church. According to this page at MBA Lyon, the couple were religious, or at least spiritual, and this influenced their art, or at least their choice of venue in one case. Maybe that's all that is meant by this term, but if that is the case, it definitely does not belong in the first sentence as the weight of evidence doesn't support it.
