Art Book Hilma Af Klint Occult Painter

For the first time since its original release in 1989, Åke Fant’s groundbreaking biography of Hilma af Klint is now available in English. This definitive account chronicles af Klint’s journey from her academic training at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm to her revolutionary exploration of abstraction in 1906. A pioneer in the art world, af Klint (1862–1944) dedicated her life to creating large-scale abstract paintings, envisioned as part of a spiritual temple.

Deeply influenced by the occult movements of her time, including Spiritualism and the teachings of Theosophical figures like Madame Blavatsky and Annie Besant, as well as Rudolf Steiner, af Klint infused her art with profound spiritual and metaphysical meaning.

This updated edition includes Fant’s original text, a foreword by curator Lars Nittve, and a new preface by Kurt Almqvist of the Axel and Margaret Ax:son Johnson Foundation. Enhanced with a revised timeline, full-color reproductions of af Klint’s work, and a beautiful cloth binding, this book reaffirms Fant’s biography as an essential resource. Published amidst a resurgence of interest in af Klint’s art, this volume is an invaluable contribution to understanding her groundbreaking legacy.
