Radff21: Beyond The Visible - Hilma Af Klint E

Hilma af Klint began creating radically abstract paintings in 1906 - bold, colourful, and untethered from any recognisable references to the physical world. It was years before Vasily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian and others would take similar strides to rid their own artwork of representational content. Yet whole many of her better-known contemporaries published manifestos and exhibited widely, af Klint's ground-breaking paintings remained largely private. Ultimately, her work was all but unseen until 1986.
