Flora","description":"Hilma af Klint is considered one of the great pioneers of abstraction, only properly recognized in recent years. Less known are her artistic beginnings, which were dedicated to an intensive study of nature. In the spring and summer months of 1919 and 1920, when she was already creating her now celebrated abstract paintings, she drew flowers almost every day: \"I will try to capture the flowers of the earth,\" she noted. The recently discovered portfolio of 46 large-format watercolors, presented here as a facsimile edition, shows the uniquely individual approach of the exceptional Swedish artist: the pulsating power of nature stands alongside precisely drawn diagrams. Realism and fiction, close-up and vision converge. In the interplay of organic forms and abstract structures, the portfolio thus points to the overarching spiritual, cosmological dimension of Hilma af Klint's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHilma af Klint (1862, Solna–1944, Danderyd) studied painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm.
