| book description |

Från att tidigare ha betraktats som en konstnärernas konstnär har Hilma af Klint (1862 - 1944), efter den första retrospektiva utställningen på Moderna Museet i Stockholm 2013 och den följande utställningsturnén som sågs av en miljonpublik, numera en etablerad plats i den abstrakta konstens historia. Centralt i hennes måleri är även frågan om andlighet. Hilma af Klint var en klassiskt skolad konstnär och ett medium som förvandlade andliga meddelanden till abstrakta och färgrika bilder. Ur en rad perspektiv undersöks i den här katalogen hur denna banbrytande abstrakta konstnär kopplade sin konstnärliga praktik till ett högre medvetande. I essäer av konsthistoriker, en kvantfysiker, en lärare i andlighet, en historiker i teosofi och esoterism, men flera, ges insikter om en värld bortom det synliga som fascinerar, nu kanske mer än någonsin. Katalogen har producerats i samband med utställningen med samma namn på Moderna Museet i Malmö, 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 Müller-Westermann organized the first institutional exhibition of af Klint’s work. Now she presents us with the latest information and research in an extensive survey show at the Moder-na Museet in Malmö. Of crucial importance is the issue of spirituality in af Klint’s painting—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 séances alike became artistic material—a world that fascinates us even more than ever.
