‘Discover the extraordinary story of Hilma af Klint, the Swedish artist who created radical abstract paintings years before her male contemporaries, Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian. This video dives into her fascinating double life, exploring how she balanced a conventional painting career with a secret, decades-long spiritual quest driven by séances and “High Masters.” Learn about the complex symbolic language she developed to visualize metaphysical concepts and the dramatic rejection by Rudolf Steiner that solidified her decision to hide her monumental work for posterity. Uncover the reason why her prophecy – that the world was not yet ready for her art – came true, leading to her late but overwhelming recognition as a true pioneer of abstract art’ – Why It’s Art-channel on Youtube
