In 2013, curator Iris Muller-Westermann organized the first retrospective exhibition of af Klint's work. Now she presents us with an extensive survey show, curated with Milena H gsberg, at the Moderna Museet in Malmö, which this volume accompanies, supplementing reproductions with the latest information and research on af Klint. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHilma af Klint: Artist, Researcher, Medium\u003c\/i\u003e 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 which fascinates us now even more than ever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHilma af Klint\u003c\/b\u003e (1862-1944) was a Swedish painter whose simultaneous fascination with art and spiritism led her to produce one of the most astonishing oeuvres in modern art history. Her conventional landscape paintings and botanical illustrations served as her main source of income, but her true lifelong passion lay in the art she created as a result of otherworldly communication. Af Klint's private works not only demonstrate perhaps the first example of true abstraction in Western painting; they also convey a complex, deeply felt system of spirituality that guided af Klint throughout her life and career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilma Af Klint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3775747400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783775747400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hatje Cantz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 11.18w x 1.10d","brand":"Hilma Af Klint","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437853421823,"sku":"9783775747400","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e23e0f74-9684-4db2-b4b8-0b9433e423ff.jpg?v=1777167214","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hilma-af-klint-hilma-af-klint-9783775747400","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
