This Danish artist was born in 1954 in Norrk�ping, Sweden and lives in Copenhagen, Denmark today. She paints shoes, potted plants, chairs, a sofa all in muted colors. She describes how she removes any traces of passion on the expressive surface and therefore eliminates the occurance of drama. There is a “dimming” or “matting” in her work which creates a poetic nuance to her art. A painting is a picture, and a picture is a kind of utterance.

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a progressive and spiritualist painter and a pioneer among women artists. She regarded herself to to be a disciple of “High Masters” from another dimension, and she expressed in her painting what she understood as her dialogue with the movements of Theosophy and Rosicrucianism. She was also a student of Rudolph Steiner’s teachings. Her work ranges from the colorful, geometrical style of early modernism, to excellent portraits, to an abstracted fantasy world reminiscent of Klimt. This short monograph contains a biographical essay presenting her ideas, her reasoning and her ambitions in a most intriguing and concise manner.

Hilma af Klint (1962-1944) is one of the great artists of the 1900s, but her work has been largely ignored for the past half century. In 1986, her work was displayed in Los Angeles for the first time in an international exhibition. The two authors of this book delved separately into the work and life history of this artist. Art historian Svensson explores Klint’s role as a pioneer within the context of the esoteric trends of modernist art. Lindén, on the other hand, investigated her unpublished letters, hereby allowing us to follow her first period of painting from 1906-08 through Klint’s own commentary. With these two perspectives, we are able to understand the entirety of Klints work from two distinct yet complementary perspectives.

In 1986, an exhibition in Los Angeles featured work by pioneers of modernism. Here, the work of Hilma af Klint finally came to light to the delight and surprise of the public. Drawing from her unpublished letters and writing from her early periods, this book provides unparalleled insight into the person and the inspiration behind her intriguing artwork. Hilma af Klint went through a 10-year period of preparation before she could heed her calling: to create images depicting deep wisdom through a new pictorial language for herself and for her time.

This retrospective exhibition marks the first large-scale presentation in Scandinavia of works by this important American artist. He employs a wide spectrum of techniques: sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, collage, “sound objects,” incisions into the wall, even paint poured or thrown onto a wall. With a touch of humor, he inserts reality-elements into the artistic context and enlists the aid of randomness as a collaborator. This catalogue also includes key essays that introduce Anastasi’s entire oeuvre and analyse his work from the 1960s.
