History Lessons for Misanthropes
History
In this episode, we discuss the life of the Swedish artist and mystic, Hilma af Klint. She has been a relatively unknown artist for the past century despite experimenting with abstraction several years before Kandinsky. Her work was completed with the help of spirits who she communicated with, and despite a great interest in esoteric beliefs in the early 20th century, her use of unconventional inspiration, combined with being a woman made her unsuccessful in her own time.
