ReviewsA wild ride [that] pulls readers into the story making them yearn to discover more about this spiritual, artistic young woman... A welcome and riveting tale of an often overlooked artist, interesting enough to engage any age, from elementary to high school., ""Introduces young readers to a long-obscure spiritualist painter who has only recently been recognized as a pioneering abstract artist... Eklund's appropriately pale, ghostly scenes of an otherworldly figure practicing her art or gazing intensely inward are interspersed with 15 reproductions of actual works, an interpretive chart of select symbols and colors in af Klint's art, and a tantalizing suggestion that viewers may find meanings of their own in their mysterious shapes and spaces... A significant contribution to the history of women artists.""

SynopsisThe first children's picture book on Hilma af Klint and her pioneering work. Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) began painting her abstract and highly symbolic images as early as 1906, long before Kandinsky and Malevich arrived at what is generally regarded as the birth of modern abstract art. She was heavily influenced by spiritual ideologies and claimed that she painted on instruction from the spirit world, for the future. Until recently overlooked by art historians, she is now lauded around the world, and will be the subject of a major exhibition at Tate Modern in 2023. This book is not only about Hilma af Klint's art, but also about the magic that surrounded her. Brimming with quality reproductions of the artist's work and with illustrations by Karin Eklund, it will appeal to all children wanting to learn more about the thrilling life and work of this groundbreaking artist.
