The Swan, The SUW/UW Series, Group IX: Part I, 1914–15

Hilma af Klint

Oil paint on canvas

 

‘Thought defines the universe in geometrical figures.’

Hilma af Klint, 1916*

 

New Old Geometries

In 1912, af Klint returned to painting after a pause of four years. Now she claimed to no longer be directed by her spiritual guides or ‘High Masters’. The Swan series dates from 1914, when af Klint was living in Stockholm and much of the world was consumed by the First World War. Across the series, there is a shift between figurative imagery and abstract forms. Two swans engaged in conflict, rendered in opposing black and white, metamorphose into a series of interlinked cubes. The series marked a development in af Klint’s visual language from organic tendrils, spirals and symbolic forms to increasingly geometric shapes and planes of solid colour.

Af Klint would have encountered the notion of an invisible, fourth dimension of space through Theosophy and the work of a prominent member and philosopher, Rudolf Steiner. Her depiction of dematerialised forms, such as the see-through cubes, suggest her familiarity with these theories. Such ideas largely disappeared after Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity was popularised, transforming understandings of space and time.

The swan was a popular occult symbol of unity, discussed extensively by leading Theosophist Helena Blavatsky in her book The Secret Doctrine, which af Klint owned. The visual arc towards an eventual state of reconciliation in The Swan might have been af Klint’s response to political and social upheaval. She said, ‘where war has torn up plants and killed animals there are empty spaces which could be filled with new figures, if there were sufficient faith in human imagination and human capacity to develop higher forms’.

Af Klint continued to use geometry in her search for ‘primordial images’ and to convey her philosophical message of unity in Series III and Series V.*

Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian: Forms of Life

(April – September 2023)

 

This is a unique chance to discover the visionary work of Swedish painter Hilma af Klint and experience Dutch painter Piet Mondrian’s influential art in a new light.

Although they never met, af Klint and Mondrian both invented their own languages of abstract art rooted in nature. At the heart of both of their artistic journeys was a shared desire to understand the forces behind life on earth.

Best known for his abstract work, Mondrian in fact began his career – like af Klint – as a landscape painter. Alongside Mondrian’s abstract compositions, you will see the rarely exhibited paintings of flowers he continued to create throughout his life. Also on display will be enigmatic works by af Klint in which natural forms become a pathway to abstraction.

Both artists shared an interest in new ideas of scientific discovery, spirituality and philosophy. Af Klint was also a medium, and this exhibition showcases the large-scale, otherworldly paintings she believed were commissioned by higher powers.

‘Nature or, that which I see, inspires me, puts me, as with any painter, in an emotional state so that an urge comes about to make something, but I want to come as close as possible to the truth and abstract everything from that…’ Piet Mondrian, 1914

‘The more we discover the wonders of nature, the more we become aware of ourselves.’ Hilma af Klint, 1917

May 7, 2018 "A 20 Sided Dice Almost the Size of My Head!"

 

Ok. It's not really a 20 sided dice or die. It is a big card stock papercraft regular icosahedron I made (which is the geometric shape used for the 20 sided dice you find in a bunch of games such as Dungeons & Dragons). The reason I made it is, like many of my "creative" projects, a long story that did not work out as intended. Since the original experiment I made it for is not going to work, I think I will print isosceles triangles for each face of a 20 sided die, paste those on the card stock shape and just keep it as a desk decoration. It is certainly much too big and poorly weighted to be a REAL 20 sided dice. ;-)

 

Another idea is I MAY print a Fuller or Dymaxion map of the Earth and paste that on to make a small, Icosahedron "globe" of the Earth.

Poi refers to both a style of performance art and the equipment used for engaging in poi performance. As a performance art, poi involves swinging tethered weights through a variety of rhythmical and geometric patterns. Poi artists may also sing or dance while swinging their poi. Poi can be made from various materials with different handles, weights, and effects (such as fire).

 

Poi originated with the Māori people of New Zealand, where it is still practiced today. Poi has also gained a following in many other countries. The expansion of poi culture has led to a significant evolution of the styles practiced, the tools used, and the definition of the word "poi."
