Description

Hilma af Klint: A Pioneering Account of Abstract Art. For the first time in English, Åke Fant's groundbreaking work on Hilma af Klint's life and career is available. After training at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, af Klint devoted 20 years to developing her unique abstract visual language, which she began exploring in 1906. Her subsequent paintings were part of a larger spiritual project, drawing inspiration from contemporary occult sources. This edition supplements Fant's original text with new insights and reproductions of af Klint's art. A preface by Kurt Almqvist adds further context to the book, while an updated timeline and full-color images provide a comprehensive overview of af Klint's work. With its beautiful cloth binding, this book is a significant contribution to our understanding of abstract art. A vital work that remains relevant today, Hilma af Klint: A Pioneering Account of Abstract Art offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and creative process of a pioneering artist.
