Hilma af Klint: biography, paintings and prints

Solna (Suecia), 1862 – Djursholm, 1944

Swedish painter trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. From 1906 she painted abstract works guided by her spiritual beliefs, years before Kandinsky or Malevich, and asked that they not be shown until 20 years after her death. She is now regarded as one of the pioneers of abstraction.
