Description
Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future explores the groundbreaking painting series of Swedish artist Hilma af Klint. Created in the early 20th century, these boldly colored works reflect an ambitious attempt to chart an invisible world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms. The book accompanies the first major survey exhibition of af Klint's work in the United States and presents the fullest picture yet of her life and art. Essays explore the social, intellectual, and artistic context of her 1906 break with figuration, placing her within Swedish modernism and folk art traditions, contemporary scientific discoveries, and spiritualist movements. A roundtable discussion among contemporary artists, scholars, and curators considers af Klint's sources and relevance to art in the 21st century. The volume also delves into her unrealized plans for a spiral-shaped temple to display her art, which finds a fitting answer in the Guggenheim Museum's rotunda.
