Hilma af Klint - Paintings for the Temple

Portrait photo of Hilma af Klint by an unknown photographer

Hilma af Klint was a Swedish artist and mystic whose paintings are considered among the first abstract works known in Western art history. A considerable body of her work predates the first purely abstract compositions by Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian. She belonged to a group called "The Five", comprising a circle of women inspired by Theosophy, who shared a belief in the importance of trying to contact the so-called "High Masters"—often by way of séances. Her paintings, which sometimes resemble diagrams, were a visual representation of complex spiritual ideas.

ANNA CASSEL: THE SAGA OF THE ROSE, a sumptuously designed book by the same publisher of the seven-volume, thirty-eight-pound Hilma af Klint Catalogue Raisonné, is not only an astonishing revelation of a heretofore unknown visual artist, but one whose recently discovered participation in the creation of Hilma af Klint’s renowned “Paintings for the Temple” necessitates a reconceptualization of this pioneering work, and hence a corrective to the history of modernism itself as it currently stands.

In the foreword, the editors Kurt Almqvist and Daniel Birnbaum (both Hilma af Klint Foundation board members) explain that although it was known that the Swedish artist Anna Cassel (1860–1937) and af Klint were members of the same esoteric circles, most famously Christian spiritualist group The Five, their work together extended well beyond the automatic drawings produced by this female collective. Most significantly, the full extent of Cassel and af Klint’s collaboration on “The Paintings for the Temple”—193 paintings in fourteen series created between 1906 and 1915, planned for a spiral-shaped sanctuary—was not fully understood until the recent discovery, in June 2021, of Cassel’s notebooks and drawings in the archives of Austrian occultist Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophical Society in Järna, outside Stockholm. Although af Klint acknowledged that the “Temple” cycle was a group effort, emanating from “a realm inhabited by a plurality of spirits,” the specific details of this coauthorship have long remained unclear. Spirits aside, the editors go on to state the lesser-known fact that “thirteen women were involved in the creation of the physical works” and that because of this extraordinary new information (thirteen!), they acknowledge that research into the collective nature of these works has just begun.

#zelda #legend of zelda #ocarina of time #link #linktober #day 13: phantom #aquanutart #actually i meant to do this for day 2: temple but ... #i guess i could really stretch it and say it's day 15 favorite character (oot link) #i listened to the forest temple music while working on this until i couldn't take it anymore #i hear it in my head when i look at this #the haunted paintings are so cool. this temple is amazing #i love how it's not dark and claustrophobic all the time but also has these bright outdoor areas that are eerily overgrown and abandoned #and then it whiplashes you into stuff like the twisted hallways. it's so cool #i'm not really into spooky/scary stuff but eerie with a sense of implied history and mysteries from years ago? go for it #also the wallmasters teaching us all to deal with anxiety in adulthood #(that is: sense its lurking presence; dodge it when it falls; slash it apart but dont let it split into smaller ones that run away from you

I finally finished this painting!!

#my art #botw #breath of the wild #could also be totk haha #but not really because I noticed they changed the grass/foliage on the ground #so that means I need to spend another couple years working on a second temple of time painting #just so I can paint the new ground foliage lol #...I actually wanted to take another shot at this location if you can believe it #the rest of my life will be painting the temple of time

I'm super pleased with how this one turned out! I started it a while ago, but set it aside because it was looking real rough there in the middle, but I'm really glad I finished it.

A photo of the full moon rising behind the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion, near Athens, Greece in early July.

"The fragmented columns of the ruined structure, dedicated to the formidable "master of the sea", glimmered amber in the amplified lunar light of the so-called "Buck Moon" – a Native American designation for a full moon that coincides with the emergence of a male deer's new antlers. The magic sparked by the quiet friction of moonlight against ancient stone ignited the imagination of British Romantic artist JMW Turner. His 1834 painting The Temple of Poseidon at Sunium (Cape Colonna), which illustrates a scene from Lord Byron's satirical epic poem Don Juan, is testimony to the timeless allure of the visionary scene."
