I got this book from the library, and I was fascinated by a glossary of invented terms that were translated from the Swedish, which is supposed to explain her artwork. The problem was this book did not actually include the notebooks that would’ve had the abbreviations that the glossary referred to. This library, copy book was a little bit old and the picture color seem faded, but it may be that some of those original artworks have been fitted due to her nephew storing some of her works under less than pristine conditions before she became famous as the first female, abstract painter, or possibly even the first abstract painter, either male or female. ( ) The worst part (!) of quarantine for me has been not having access to interlibrary loan which means I can't ILL my favorite art books and instead have to make tough decisions about which to buy and which can wait. Anyway I'm so glad I bought this, it's luminous, I love it. Not a lot of text but what is there opens up so many doors to thinking and seeing things. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
At the turn of the century, Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) created a body of work that left visible reality behind, exploring the radical possibilities of abstraction years before Vasily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, or Piet Mondrian, acknowledged fathers of twentieth-century abstraction. Like many of her contemporaries, af Klint was interested in the invisible relationships that scientists at the turn of the century were discovering shape the world. She strongly believed in a spiritual dimension to the universe and devoted her life to an exploration of this realm. Hilma af Klint's process of investigation took many forms and drew on systems and symbols outside the traditional language of art. Notes and Methods traces the origins of her powerful abstract work. Included are the mediumistic drawings she created with the group of women who called themselves The Five; Flowers, Mosses, and Lichens, a spiritual explication of the plant world; and the Blue Books, in which af Klint catalogued her most important body of work, The Paintings for the Temple. Notes and Methods is the first extensive English translation of the writings of Hilma af Klint. In addition to translations of all notebooks reproduced, Notes and Methods also includes Letters and Words Pertaining to Works by Hilma af Klint, an invaluable guide to the meaning behind the work, compiled by Hilma af Klint herself--back cover.
