Beschreibung
A monumental abstract work by Hilma af Klint, representing the stage of adulthood through organic forms and symbolic geometry.
The Ten Largest, No. 7, Adulthood is part of a series of ten monumental paintings created by Hilma af Klint in 1907. These works were intended to represent the various stages of human life, from childhood to old age. This specific composition focuses on the stage of adulthood, utilising a visual language of organic forms, botanical motifs, and abstract symbols to convey spiritual and developmental concepts.
The painting features a soft, lavender-toned background that provides a neutral field for the central yellow forms. These large, bulbous shapes are divided into sections marked with Roman numerals, suggesting a structured progression or internal division within the adult experience. Surrounding these central elements are various smaller shapes, including spirals, circles, and plant-like structures, which appear to float in the space. The use of tempera on paper gives the surface a matte, chalky quality, allowing the colours to sit softly against the support.
Af Klint developed this unique aesthetic through her involvement with spiritualism and theosophy. She believed she was acting as a medium, translating complex metaphysical ideas into visual form. The work avoids traditional perspective, opting instead for a flat, decorative arrangement that prioritises symbolic meaning over physical representation. The inclusion of calligraphic lines and cursive script at the bottom of the canvas adds a layer of personal notation, characteristic of her private artistic practice. By separating her work from the prevailing artistic trends of the early twentieth century, af Klint created a body of work that remained largely unseen for decades. This print captures the scale and delicate colour balance of the original, offering a clear view of the artist's systematic approach to abstraction.

Artist Biography
Hilma Af Klint
Hilma af Klint was painting abstract art in 1906. Kandinsky's first abstract works are generally dated to 1910 or 1911. Malevich and Mondrian came later still. She predated them all by years, and nobody knew, because she stipulated that her work should not be shown until twenty years after her death.
She was born in 1862 into a naval family in Stockholm. She showed early ability in both mathematics and botany, studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, graduated with honours in 1887, and established herself as a conventional painter of landscapes and portraits. She also worked as a scientific illustrator, producing botanical drawings of fungi for a book that was never published. In 1919 and 1920 she drew flowers almost daily, creating jewel-toned watercolours with the precision of a naturalist who knew when each species bloomed.
The abstract work came from a different source. She attended her first seance at seventeen. In 1896 she formed a group called De Fem (The Five) with four other women: Anna Cassel, Cornelia Cederberg, Sigrid Hedman, and Mathilda Nilsson. They contacted what they believed to be spirit guides from another dimension and kept meticulous notes. In 1906, aged forty-four, she received instructions during a seance to create paintings for a Temple. She never understood where or what this Temple was, but she began.
The Paintings for the Temple series, 193 works made between 1906 and 1915, includes compositions that are completely abstract. She used a systematic colour symbolism: blue for femininity or spirituality, yellow for masculinity or intellect. Spirals, circles, and intersecting lines represented spiritual forces or natural processes. Where Kandinsky's abstraction looked inward to the artist's own psychology, af Klint believed astral spirits were working through her hands.
She died in 1944. The embargo lifted in 1964, but the work was not shown publicly until 1986. In 2018, the Guggenheim mounted Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future. It drew over 600,000 visitors, the most attended exhibition in the museum's history. She left behind more than 1,200 paintings and thousands of pages of notes.
