Modern art was indeed heavily influenced by theosophy at the start, even if it stands on its own feet since half a century and more. And historians that trace the development of abstract art are indeed amiss if they omit this influence, but superficial histories such as exhibition catalogues will understandably try and avoid such 'complications' in the narrative.
