"Revelatory and sublime...Her work remains conceptually open enough
for viewers to draw their own conclusions, insert their own meaning
and feel transported to other glorious worlds." -The New York Times
One of the most inventive artists of the twentieth century, Hilma
af Klint was a pioneer of abstraction. Her first forays into her
imaginative non-objective painting long preceded the work of
Kandinsky and Mondrian and radically mined the fields of science
and religion. Deeply interested in spiritualism and philosophy, af
Klint developed an iconography that explores esoteric concepts in
metaphysics, as demonstrated in Tree of Knowledge. This rarely seen
series of watercolors renders orbital, enigmatic forms, visual
allegories of unification and separateness, darkness and light,
beginning and end, life and death, and spirit and matter. Published
on the occasion of the exhibition Hilma af Klint: Tree of Knowledge
at David Zwirner New York in 2021 and David Zwirner London in 2022,
this catalogue features a text by the art historian Susan Aberth
examining af Klint's spiritual and anthroposophical influences.
With a conversation between the curator Helen Molesworth and the US
Poet Laureate Joy Harjo discussing connections between Tree of
Knowledge and native theories about plant knowledge, the
publication broadens the scope of philosophical interpretations of
af Klint's timeless work. Also included is a newly commissioned
essay by the celebrated af Klint scholar Julia Voss, a contribution
by the artist Suzan Frecon, and a text by art historian Max
Rosenberg that further develops the conversation around why af
Klint's work was not recognized in its time.

A moving biography, told in vivid illustrations, this graphic novel

abstract painting Hilma af Klint (1862-1944). Long-underrecognized,
af Klint's sensational rediscovery continues to take art audiences

the strength it took af Klint to continue as an artist against all
odds. Beautifully drawn, brightly colored, and well-researched,
this graphic novel is a new way of looking at the story of an
artist. Referencing Julia Voss's new biography of af Klint, Deines
presents an accessible and lively introduction for many ages.
Biography, art history, and contemporary narrative style merge and
complement each other in these magnificent visual worlds.
At the turn of the twentieth century, Swedish artist Hilma af Klint
(1862–1944) created a body of work that left visible reality
behind, exploring the radical possibilities of abstraction years
before Vasily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, or Piet Mondrian. Many
consider her the first trained artist to create abstract paintings.
With Hilma af Klint: Notes and Methods, we get to experience the
arc of Klint’s artistic investigation in her own words. Hilma af
Klint studied at the Royal Swedish Academy in Stockholm where she
was part of the first generation of female students. Up until the
beginning of the century, she painted mainly landscapes and
detailed botanical studies. Her work from this period was that of a
young artist of her time who meticulously observed the world around
her. But, like many of her contemporaries, af Klint was also
interested in the invisible relationships that shape our world,
believing strongly in a spiritual dimension. She joined the
Theosophical Society, and, with four fellow female members who
together called themselves “The Five,” began to study
mediumship. Between 1906 and 1915, purportedly guided by a higher
power, af Klint created 193 individual works that, in both scale
and scope of imagery, are like no other art created at that time.
Botanically inspired images and mystical symbols, diagrams, words
and geometric series, all form part af Klint’s abstract language.
These abstract techniques would not be seen again until years
later. Notes and Methods presents facsimile reproductions of a wide
array of af Klint’s early notebooks accompanied by the first
English translation of af Klint’s extensive writings. It contains
the rarely seen “Blue Notebooks,” hand-painted and annotated
catalogues af Klint created of her most famous series “Paintings
for the Temple,” and a dictionary compiled by af Klint of the
words and letters found in her work. An introduction by Iris
Müller-Westermann illuminates this unique and important
contribution to the legacy of Hilma af Klint.
