Working before Kandinsky and Malevich, Swedish artist Hilma af Klint was arguably the first abstract painter in the history of modern art.
In 1905, af Klint received a commission from the mysterious entity Amaliel to create her most important body of work: The Paintings for the Temple. Hilma af Klint: Painting the Unseen focuses on this important series, consisting of 193 predominately abstract paintings in various series and subgroups. Claiming to act as merely a medium for spiritual forces guiding her hand, af Klint painted a path towards a harmony between the spiritual and material worlds; good and evil; man and woman; religion and science. 8 X 10 IN. / 192 PGS / 155 COLOR.
