Hilma af Klint was a Swedish artist (1862-1944) began painting abstract work in 1906, nearly 40 years before the Abstract Art Movement.
Klint said her works were divined by spirit, explaining that she received instructions for each stroke of the brush that yielded incredible geometries connecting the physical and material world to a spiritual and eternal space. Klint actually required that her work not be shown to the public until 20 years after her death, predicting that it be shown in a spiral building - and to her post- mortal delight, three decades after she died, Klint’s works were indeed first shown at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1986 and eventually in a solo exhibition at New York City’s spiraled Guggenheim Museum in 2018.
We celebrate Klint for her true avant-garde spirit, complimenting her compelling visuals with graphic texts that further describe her works.
