Hilma af Klint (Taschen Basic art Series) - Janis Mink

Hilma af Klint (TASCHEN Basic Art Series) by Janis Mink is an illuminating art history book dedicated to one of the true pioneers of abstract painting. Long before abstraction became widely recognized, Hilma af Klint created visionary works filled with spirals, geometric forms, symbols, letters, and vibrant color harmonies that explored unseen dimensions of existence. Influenced by botany, mathematics, spirituality, Theosophy, and esoteric philosophy, her paintings anticipated the later achievements of Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Malevich. This beautifully produced volume introduces readers to her most celebrated cycles, including The Ten Largest and the extraordinary works for the Temple, while also examining her life, ideas, and groundbreaking role in modern art. Ideal for collectors, students, and lovers of contemporary creativity, this TASCHEN edition reveals the brilliance of an artist far ahead of her time.
