Hilma af Klint's daring abstractions exert a mystical magnetism

When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint's radically abstract painting practice―one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

Accompanying the first major survey exhibition of the artist's work in the United States, Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future represents her groundbreaking painting series while expanding recent scholarship to present the fullest picture yet of her life and art. Essays explore the social, intellectual and artistic context of af Klint's 1906 break with figuration and her subsequent development, placing her in the context of Swedish modernism and folk art traditions, contemporary scientific discoveries, and spiritualist and occult movements. A roundtable discussion among contemporary artists, scholars and curators considers af Klint's sources and relevance to art in the 21st century. The volume also delves into her unrealized plans for a spiral-shaped temple in which to display her art―a wish that finds a fortuitous answer in the Guggenheim Museum's rotunda, the site of the exhibition.

Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Though her paintings were not seen publicly until 1987, her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich.

Today was such a beautiful day and the sun finally came up. Also, I broke my all-time step record (but didn't even come close to Serban's number of steps 😅) What's your step record?

Downtown revamp: Deh'Javu Modern Art Museum (exterior) (Interior parts 1, 2, and 3 here)

I know this museum's original layout is iconic, but I honestly dislike it due to routing and whatnot. So I took a lotttt of liberty with this remodel's shell. In exchange I made it almost CC free, save a few recolors and the angled OMSPs.

I did preserve the iconic flaming toilet and ground floor! And used it and the Guggenheim museum in NY as inspiration for the shell and layout.

Kelly!! I’m going to NY for an extended work trip and my mind is SPINNING thinking about walking around the same places birdie and ez are, the nyc magic, feeling the love in the springtime air 🥹 I can’t remember but do you have a post sharing all the locations you mentioned or thought of while writing? Would love to walk in their footsteps 💕

omgomgomgomg — you are living my DREAM 😍 I’ve often daydreamed about going back and taking a sort of “In The Dark” tour

Here is the official In The Dark Guide:

Chapter One:

NYU (Cee and Birdie's college)

The Guggenheim (Birdie's dream museum)

The Bean (the coffeeshop where Birdie and Cee eat lunch together for the first time)

Chelsea (the neighborhood Ezra's brownstone is in)

Chapter Four:

Chelsea Farmer’s Market

Strand Books (bookstore where Ezra corners Birdie)

Chapter Five:

Brighton Beach (neighborhood where Ezra scouts antiques)

Tribeca, Greenwich Village, West Harlem, Midtown (all neighborhoods)

Chapter Six:

Sofreh (Persian restaurant where Ezra celebrates his birthday, and drinks their signature cocktail: a Sekanjabin Martini)

Breads Bakery (French lunch stand in Bryant Park)

Chapter Seven:

The Library (punk bar in East Village)

Chapter Eight:

Central Park, the section along 59th and 6th, The Museum of Modern Art and La Bonne Soup (Ezra and Birdie's date weekend)

Chapter Nine:

The New York Public Library, East Wing (where Cee hides after finding out)

Chapter Ten:

The Museum of Modern Art (specifically the painting, The Dream by Henri Rousseau, which is actually also Pedro's favorite and he used to visit it a lot when he lived in NYC). Inside the museum, there is a section of windows that face a courtyard and that was where Ezra was pacing during his phone call with Birdie.

Chapter Eleven:

Hudson River Park, between 100th-125th St (cherry blossom lined paths where Ezra and Birdie walk)

The High Line (they also take walks here, you should def check this out)

Chapter Twelve:

NoMo SoHo (hotel where Ezra and Birdie spend their last night - it's gorgeous)

I think that's everything! A lot of the inspiration for this story came from just walking around the city with @krissology - the graffiti, the sounds, the endless streams of people, the architecture, the train, etc. A lot of the photos I used in my moodboards for this story were taken directly from my camera roll. ❤

If you end up going to any of these places, let me know!! I wish I could come with you and I hope you have a ton of fun! ❤

The career of Charles Gwathmey started with a house, even before he was a licensed architect: in 1965 he realized a studio/house for his parents, painter Robert and photographer Rosalie Gwathmey, in Amagensett, NY, that won the Yale graduate wide recognition and even appeared as an example on his licensing exam. Gwathmey had spent the years after his graduation in 1962 first in Paris with Candilis Josic Woods and then in New York with George Nemeny Architects as well as Edward Larrabee Barnes until he went into partnership with Richard Henderson. In 1968 Robert Siegel joined the partnership that in 1970 became Gwathmey Siegel & Associates after the departure of Henderson.

For Gwathmey the house always remained the point of departure for all other building types and accordingly it also occupied a central position in his oeuvre, even though prestigious projects like the 1992 addition to Frank Lloyd Wright’s New York Guggenheim Museum or the Morgan Stanley Building also in New York added a whole different dimension to his firm’s commissions.

In 2000 Monacelli Press published „Gwathmey Siegel Houses“, a comprehensive monograph presenting 22 houses and residences realized between 1965 and 1993. What immediately strikes the eye is Gwathmey’s preference for basic geometric figures that he obviously shared with another architect of the „New York Five“, namely Richard Meier. But in contrast to the latter Gwathmey experimented with different materials, textures and thus colors that gave his designs a greater degree of variety. These characteristics can be studied in great detail in the book as each project is presented in extensive photo spreads as well as plans and sections, features that aren’t too common in large-size coffee table books like the present one undoubtedly is.

Jeanne Reynal B.1903, WHITEPLAINS, NEW YORK D. 1983

Jeanne Reynal (1903-1983) is a significant figure of the New York School, a mosaicist who showed with Betty Parsons Gallery. Reynal was dedicated to challenging expectations of the medium by creating, as she described, “a new art of mosaic, a contemporary and fresh look for this ancient medium.” Her work was largely abstract.

Born in White Plains, NY, Reynal apprenticed from 1930-38 with Boris Anrep, a Russian mosaicist working in Paris. This established her interest in working with the medium. Reynal spent the World War II years living in San Francisco, and in Sierra Nevada. Her first solo exhibition was held in Los Angeles in 1940.

Reynal’s father died in 1939, allowing her resources with which to build an art collection. She acquired a 1941 Jackson Pollock painting from Peggy Guggenheim’s gallery -- one of the first ever sales of a Pollock. At this time, Reynal developed a relationship with the first director of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art: introducing her to the work of Pollock and other first-generation New York School artists, and helping to set the course of acquisitions and exhibitions at the museum. Reynal’s closest artist friend was Arshile Gorky, and his wife Agnes (known as Mougouch). Reynal would show her own work in the SFMoMA Annual exhibitions from 1940-46. During her West Coast years, Reynal also developed a friendship with Isamu Noguchi who had enrolled, voluntarily, in an internment camp to aid other Japanese-Americans. She would later collaborate with Noguchi on mosaics for tables of his design. Reynal was also associated with the Surrealists - many of whom were living in exile in the U.S. In 1945, Reynal took a six week visit to the Hopi, Zuni, and Navajo Indians with André and Elissa Breton as interpreter and guide.

Reynal moved to New York City in 1946. At that time, she further developed friendships with artists including Willem and Elaine de Kooning. In 1955, she married Thomas Sills, a largely self-taught African American painter. They traveled together across Russia, Turkey, Greece, and Italy in 1959 to further study the art of mosaic. In 1960, she was asked, by Elaine de Kooning, to take over the organization of a show of Abstract Expressionist women artists held in West Texas in 1960, at Dord Fitz Gallery. It was in this period that Reynal began exhibiting with Betty Parsons.

Reynal was the subject of a traveling solo exhibition, organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, in 1964. The same year, a monograph of her work, with essays by Elaine de Kooning, Dore Ashton, and Lawrence Campbell, was published. The solo show traveled to the Sheldon Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, a city where, the following year, Reynal would create mosaic murals for the State Capitol building.

Reynal traveled with her husband, Sills, throughout South and Central America: Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru. She was influenced by indigenous art throughout her travels. In the early 1970s, Reynal began making totem sculptures utilizing mosaic tesserae and pieces of shell. These monumental works were exhibited at Betty Parsons and at the Art Association in Newport, Rhode Island. In the late 1970s, she made a series of portraits in mosaic (many of artist-friends), and depictions of animals.

Whaaaaat's NY AU Clexa's favorite part of the city to hang out in? (Separately and/or together)

Our girls are die hard Brooklyn ladies, but will venture into Greenwich Village occasionally for dinner, to catch up with Abby (she works at the hospital there), or grab drinks with some of Lexa's law school friends.

While Lexa is a city transplant, having moving into NY for undergrand, Clarke is a born and bred New Yorker and frequently jokes that with the help of Jake she was hailing cabs before she could walk.

They also love the Chelsea flea market, and Clarke usually wakes up at the crack of dawn on summer Saturdays to drag Lexa out of bed to make the 40 minute trek north, practically vibrating out of her skin with excitement on the subway as she shoves an iced coffee in a sleepy Lexa's hands to appease her tired girlfriend.

They'll occasionally head to the Upper East side to let Clarke drag Lexa through the MoMa, or stop in at the Guggenheim to wander through the exhibits on a rainy afternoon.

They love their city and adore exploring all of the dive bars, flea markets, thrift stores, and farmer's markets it has to offer.
