Did you know?
Hilma af Klint was a pioneer of abstract art, creating these profound works years before her male contemporaries like Kandinsky or Mondrian. She believed her paintings were commissioned by higher spiritual beings and left instructions that her abstract work not be shown to the public until twenty years after her death, fearing the world was not yet ready for her vision.
