Frû?n att tidigare ha betraktats som en konstnû?rernas konstnû?r har Hilma af Klint (1862 - 1944), efter den fû?rsta retrospektiva utstû?llningen pû? Moderna Museet i Stockholm 2013 och den fû?ljande utstû?llningsturnû?n som sû?gs av en miljonpublik, numera en etablerad plats i den abstrakta konstens historia. Centralt i hennes mû?leri û?r û?ven frû?gan om andlighet. Hilma af Klint var en klassiskt skolad konstnû?r och ett medium som fû?rvandlade andliga meddelanden till abstrakta och fû?rgrika bilder. Ur en rad perspektiv undersû?ks i den hû?r katalogen hur denna banbrytande abstrakta konstnû?r kopplade sin konstnû?rliga praktik till ett hû?gre medvetande. I essû?er av konsthistoriker, en kvantfysiker, en lû?rare i andlighet, en historiker i teosofi och esoterism, men flera, ges insikter om en vû?rld bortom det synliga som fascinerar, nu kanske mer û?n nû?gonsin.
Katalogen har producerats i samband med utstû?llningen med samma namn pû? Moderna Museet i Malmû?, sommaren 2020.
Once considered an outsider artist, after her show at the Guggenheim Museum was seen by more than half-a-mil-lion visitors, Hilma af Klint firmly established her place in art history. She has also been the subject of documenta-ry films and biographies. In 2013, Iris Mû§ller-Westermann organized the first institutional exhibition of af Klintª¡s work. Now she presents us with the latest information and research in an extensive survey show at the Moder-na Museet in Malmû?. Of crucial importance is the issue of spirituality in af Klintª¡s paintingª¢how she managed to translate both the material and the immaterial world into a pictorial vision. The accompanying exhibition catalogue is the first to investigate, from a variety of perspectives, the question of how this trailblazing abstract artist linked her painting to a higher consciousness. Essays by leading historians of theosophy and a quantum physicist, among others, provide enlightening insight into a world in which both the visualization of atoms and spiritual sû?ances alike became artistic materialª¢a world that fascinates us even more than ever.
