      Hilma af Klint – a pioneer in abstract painting

       

      Hilma af Klint is a unique artist in that she was groundbreaking early in developing an abstract visual language. Af Klint actually preceded pioneers like Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian, who are otherwise considered to have introduced abstract painting. However, her influence on the development of art was modest, as she wrote in her will that her paintings were not to be shown until 40 years after her death (when the world was ready). The art world first took notice of her paintings at a group exhibition in Los Angeles in 1986. But it wasn't until the exhibition at the Moderna Museet in 2013 that she received her major international breakthrough. With her powerful use of color and form, filled with esoteric symbolism and Christian mysticism, she has gained worldwide fame, and her paintings have been exhibited in some of the most prestigious museums in the world, such as the Guggenheim, MoMA, Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, and Moderna Museet. 


       

      Bold colors and esoteric themes 

      The main theme in Hilma af Klint's art is to visualize the invisible world. Af Klint was strongly influenced by the major spiritual movements of her time such as theosophy and anthroposophy, using her painting as a way to portray ideas about spiritual development and higher forms of consciousness. Paintings for the Temple came about as she, acting as a medium, received "messages from spirits" that later became forms, compositions, and colors. 

       

      In the suite The Ten Largest, she addresses themes of life and its different stages: childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. The Swan is another recurring motif in her paintings. At Posterton, we have prints and posters featuring some of Hilma af Klint's most beloved works.
