Visionary art is art that transcends the physical world and portrays a wider vision of awareness including spiritual or mystical themes, or is based in such experiences.
Both trained and self-taught (or outsider) artists create visionary works. Many well known visionary artists have drawn inspiration from psycheldelic drug experience, although this is not a prerequisite.
Contemporary visionary artists count Hieronymous Bosch and William Blake amongst their antecedents. The transcendental nature of this style of art links it with psychedelic art, and the visionary aspect ties it with the surrealists.
The American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland is dedicated to the collection and display of such artwork.
