Descripción
A monumental abstract work from 1907, featuring soft lilac tones and flowing, calligraphic lines that represent the stage of adulthood.
The Ten Largest, No. 5, Adulthood is part of a series of ten monumental paintings created by Hilma af Klint in 1907. These works represent the stages of human life, from childhood to old age. This specific piece focuses on the phase of adulthood, rendered through a synthesis of organic forms and calligraphic line work. The composition is dominated by a soft lilac background, upon which large, petal-like shapes and swirling, cursive-inspired motifs are arranged.
Af Klint produced these paintings as part of her involvement with The Five, a group of women interested in spiritualism and theosophy. Her approach to abstraction predates the more widely recognised movements of the early twentieth century. She utilised a personal visual language to map spiritual concepts, combining botanical references with geometric symbols. The large scale of the work, measuring over three metres in height, creates an immersive experience for the viewer.
Visually, the painting balances soft, pastel tones with stark white lines. The central flower-like form at the top provides a sense of symmetry, while the lower section features complex, looping lines that suggest movement and growth. The use of tempera on paper, mounted on canvas, gives the surface a matte, chalky quality that softens the impact of the bold shapes. By avoiding traditional perspective, af Klint creates a flat, decorative space that prioritises symbolic meaning over physical representation. This work remains a primary example of her unique contribution to the history of modern art, reflecting her interest in the unseen forces of the natural and spiritual worlds.

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.
