HILMA AF KLINT said works she obtained “were painted directly through me.”
On thecollector.com art historian Anastasiia S. Kirpalov wrote that Hilma’s psychically inspired works “were a mystery even to the artist herself, so she spent years decoding the symbols in them.”
Born in 1862, Hilma created abstract images years before more famous names such as Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky and Holland’s Piet Mondrian.
