new research and cultural context on the life and art of hilma af klint
the 2018 exhibition at the guggenheim museum in new york, hilma af klint: paintings for the future, introduced the general public to the abstract mystical masterpieces of swedish painter hilma af klint (1862–1944). based on a seminar held at the guggenheim museum at the opening of this acclaimed exhibition, this volume compiles the insights of the seminar’s contributors alongside reproductions of works, archival photographs and images from af klint’s journals
hilma af klint: visionary explores the social and spiritual movements that appeared at the turn of the 20th century, inspiring the pioneers of modernism and abstract art: kandinsky, mondrian, malevich and af klint. what was the zeitgeist that inspired such an eruption in abstract art? what were the conditions that created hilma af klint? academics and experts julia voss, tracey bashkoff, isaac lubelsky, linda dalrymple henderson and Marco pasi each take a different approach. voss analyzes af klint's biography, pinpointing five important events in her life; bashkoff presents her connection to hilla rebay and her plans for the building of a temple; lubelsky traces the origins of theosophy in new york; henderson examines the occult and science; and pasi considers esotericism’s changing role in culture
