Hilma Af Klint: Artist, Researcher, Medium

Exhibition at the Moderna Museet, Malmö, 16 June - 27 September 2020

Regarded as a pioneer of abstract art, Swedish artist Hilma Al Klint (1862-1944) turned to abstraction in the wake of her profound exploration of spirituality and theosophy. Of crucial importance is the issue of spirituality in af Klint's painting-how the artist managed to translate both the material and the immaterial world into a pictorial vision.

This exhibition catalogue investigates, from a variety of perspectives, the question of how this trailblazing abstract artist linked her painting to a higher consciousness. Essays by art historians, a quantum physicist, a spiritual teacher, and an historian of theosophy and esotericism, among others, provide insights into a world beyond the visible.
