She created art that gives me that feeling which I come by every now and again, of some feature of life, existence, and consciousness that can't well be put into words. I'm 22, depressed, mad at the world and afraid of the lonesomeness of the unkown. Klint's art work makes that "unknown" look comforting and welcoming and beautiful.

For what its worth, Wikipedia (that great scholar) doesn't actually give any direct reference for Steiner's comments, so we don't know he actually said that. Maybe its in her notebooks but without context, its just interpretation. But Wikipedia then goes on to say, from Blavatsky's book, that mediumship 'was a faulty practice, leading its adepts on the wrong path of occultism and black magic'. For spiritual leaders such as Steiner and Blavatsky, uncontrolled or passive contact with spiritual beings, without having undergone a rigorous path of meditative practice, could be dangerous, especially for artists. For all we know, Steiner may have been concerned with what we now call her mental health in allowing herself to be a passive conduit for who knows what. Maybe he was pointing to the means by which she was inspired, rather than the artworks themselves. Steiner wasn't known for direct criticism to individuals who sought his advice. And it didn't stop her going back and joining the Anthroposophical Society in 1920 and trying their more fluid watercolour techniques in her latter years.

Interesting comment. I didn't flag up she was Lesbian, simply because as you have indicated it it is very easy for an adult to make that assumption, given the facts we know about her life. But also for another reason, she was a very private person and you and others are making an assumption about her sexuality. I purposely haven't mentioned that in my video because the facts about her life, whilst suggesting she was probably lesbian, could also indicate she was asexual, we don't know for a fact. I produce short videos about artist's and their work, I will imply, suggest and comment on the the facts of their life and work. So let's let's leave aside the sexual identity agenda and celebrate the fact that this woman, succeeded in a male dominated environment and produced great art works that usurped the assumption, held for many years, that Kandinsky created the first abstract paintings.

You assume she was a lesbian, but you have only circumstantial evidence for that, you don't know. Your objection to my video appears to be based on the fact that because I didn't put the label 'lesbian' on this circumstantial evidence and discussed the possibility of how her assumed sexual orientation may have affected her work, I am being dishonest and censorial. Rubbish. Whilst sexual orientation and experiences can influence an artist's work, so can ethnicity, religion and many other things. In this case spiritualism was by far the most important influence on her work. If you want to make a case for her planting a label on her, that's up to you, but in the 15 minutes I had to cover her life in my video, the label wasn't important.

Breathtaking paintings. She's new to me, but I will be looking for her now. A true master.

Yes, she is much under-rated as an artist.

Thank you for highlighting that she was the first abstract artist! It has often not been recalled that way.

Thank you so much, I’ll look into Hilma’s work which I almost didn’t heard of before. She was extremely important as you pointed out. I live in Brazil and I’m preety much interested in all kinds of art.

I've had the pleasure to experience Hilma's outstanding giant works in NYC in 2018; they are profound. I (like many I assume) am drawn to her amazing vision and fearless talent.🖤🙏💛

@@ArtHistorySchool I believe now (that her works are being shown) the world will notice and champion/embrace her pioneering vision and masterful talent. Or I may be completely wrong, lol.

This is incredible! Overwhelming! Thank you

Yesterday I visited the exhibition of her work in Wellington NZ. I was amazed, stunned and felt overwhelmed. A truly great artist with a deep connection to the world both seen and unseen. Thanks Paul for your informative presentation

You are very welcome. I have not seen her work in the flesh.

Just phenomenal. Thank you so much for sharing. I went to college for art but stopped in 2003 to raise our firstborn, so I never learned about Klint in my classes. 18 years later, & I am newly homeschooling our two younger children. But it's impossible to be an expert on everything, so I do a lot of research myself & defer to others for many areas, just steering them in this way or that. I didn't want our art studies to be diluted, so decided to focus on art (& also life skills) over the summer. After a quick google search of "female artists", I clicked on one I'd never heard of, & quick search of "Hilma af Klint KZread" & voila! Your fabulous video & channel. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing. Your channel will be a tremendous help to me. *subscribed* :)
