Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a Swedish artist and mystic who is now recognized as a pioneer of abstract art. Klint's work was ahead of its time and she created her first abstract paintings in 1906, several years before the more famous abstract artists of the 1910s. However, she did not exhibit her abstract paintings during her lifetime, as she believed that the world was not yet ready to understand them. Klint's work explores themes of spirituality, theosophy, and the intersection of the material and spiritual worlds. Her work has gained renewed recognition in recent years, and she is now celebrated as a trailblazer of abstract art.
