The triangles, squares, circles, and ellipses that appear here in constantly new constellations express a spiritual dynamic, according to af Klint’s notebooks from these years. Hilma af Klint considered this work a kind of research, and she used ‘spiritual scientific’ methods – a term borrowed from anthroposophy – in order to understand the evolution and development of mankind. In her studies of living beings, she gained insight into an abstract world of geometrical conditions and guidelines. 03/04/22orders to: [email protected] a: [email protected]: @fashionbooksmiinstagram: fashionbooksmilano, designbooksmilano tumblr: fashionbooksmilano, designbooksmilano -- source link
