Hilma af Klint: Occult Painter and Abstract Pioneer
For the first time since its original publication in 1989, Åke Fant’s pioneering account of Hilma af Klint’s life and career is available to read in English. This long-awaited edition of Hilma's life and work offers readers an updated timeline, pages and pages of full-color reproductions of af Klint’s art, plus a beautiful cloth binding. This book longs to be seen!
Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) painted for over 20 years before she began working with an abstract visual language in 1906. She then dedicated the rest of her life to her magnum opus, a series of large-scale abstract paintings intended to be exhibited as part of an immense spiritual temple.
This edition supplements Åke Fant’s original text and curator Lars Nittve’s foreword with a new preface by Kurt Almqvist.
