Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was the daughter of a Swedish naval military officer. In 1882-1887 she studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm as one of the first women painters to enroll at the Academy after 1864, when the institution first allowed access to women. She created naturalist landscapes and portraits. In 1879, she started to take an interest in the occult. In 1894 she joined the Theosophical Society. In 1900-1901 she was commissioned as a draughtswoman and painter by a veterinarian university. In November 1906 (earlier than any other abstract painter) she created her first small format series of abstract paintings. This marked the beginning of a creative phase which culminated with the large-format series Paintings for a Temple (a total of 193 paintings). In 1908 in Sweden she met Rudolf Steiner. In 1920, she joined the Anthroposophical Society. She never exhibited her work during her lifetime. Moreover, she stated in her will that her works could only be exhibited 20 years after her death Her oeuvre encompasses 1000 works and 125 notebooks, and has garnered global recognition since the 1980′s thanks to the work of the art historian Åke Fant. Hilma af Klint, Swan, no. 24, series SUW, group 9, 1914, oil on canvas, 151 x 152 cm. Text from: Reinhold J. Fäth, ‘Aenigma: One Hundred Years of Anthroposophical Art’, published by Arbor Vitae publishing house in spring 2015
