A richly scholarly art volume in Swedish, Hilma af Klint: Konsten Att Se Det Osynliga (The Art of Seeing the Invisible) presents a comprehensive examination of the visionary Swedish painter Hilma af Klint, widely regarded as a pioneering force in abstract art who predated Kandinsky and Mondrian. Edited by Kurt Almqvist and Louise Belfrage, the work brings together essays and critical perspectives that illuminate af Klint's deeply spiritual worldview, her engagement with theosophy and anthroposophy, and the extraordinary body of work she kept largely hidden from the public during her lifetime. The tone is both reverent and rigorously academic, situating af Klint's monumental series The Paintings for the Temple within the broader context of early twentieth-century European modernism and esoteric thought. Contributors argue that her work deserves recognition not merely as a curiosity of art history, but as a foundational achievement that reshaped our understanding of abstraction's origins. This essential volume stands as a landmark contribution to af Klint scholarship, offering readers an authoritative and visually rich encounter with one of art history's most remarkable rediscoveries. Language: Swedish An illustrative copy with bright artworks.
