Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862 – 1944) was a true pioneer in abstract art, though her work was almost never seen outside her close circle during her lifetime. In her will, af Klint wrote that her works were not to be shown until twenty years after her death. She was convinced that her contemporaries were not ready to understand their meaning.

af Klint’s abstract paintings predate the first abstract works by Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Kazimir Malevich, male artists who are still regarded as the forerunners of twentieth-century abstract art.

af Klint’s powerful, groundbreaking, and striking oeuvre challenges the history of art as previously written. March is Women’s History Month, and quite fittingly, we’re kicking off with Hilma af Klint!

For Women's History Month, you can't do better than the science and spirit, mind and matter, micro and macro of 'Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future,' published by @guggenheim⁠ ⁠ Curator Tracey Bashkoff describes af Klint's most important series, 'The Paintings for the Temple:' "The cycle focuses on the stages of life and humanity's connection to the universe. The mix of floral, geometric, and biomorphic forms with letters and inverted words creates a vocabulary of complex and shifting meanings, with which af Klint herself appears to have grappled. In these works a plant tendril may become a spiral, which in turn unfolds into a coiling line that then scribes a calligraphic letter—codes and words from an unknown language. Two pulsing orbs are, at the same time, microscopic eggs and intersecting solar systems. These forms continue to evade singular or stable interpretations—evolution, continuity, growth and progress all coexist with a return to the beginning of the oneness of the spirit. Science and spirit, mind and matter, the micro and the macro are simultaneously present."⁠ ⁠ Read more about the book via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by Tracey Bashkoff. Contributions by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss.⁠ ⁠ #hilmaafklint #paintingsforthefuture #hilma #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth #abstraction #spiritualism https://www.instagram.com/p/CbNevJzua_N/?utm_medium=tumblr
