About Hilma af Klint
1862-1944
In art history, few artistic concepts have brought about such fundamental changes as abstraction. The Swedish artist Hilma af Klint contributed significantly to its development.
As early as 1906, Hilma af Klint painted a series of paintings completely without real objects. Initially, she showed these only to selected insiders. What was special about her work was that she translated impulses from spirituality, psychology and natural sciences into an abstract imagery. In her will, she stipulated that her works should not be exhibited until 20 years after her death, as she suspected even then that her contemporaries would not understand them. As a result, her work remained undiscovered for a long time and only found appropriate recognition in the 21st century.
Hilma af Klint's oeuvre includes over 1000 paintings and drawings, as well as 125 notebooks comprising around 26,000 pages.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from representational depiction, which spread across the entire western world and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.

Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
