This abstract painting by Hilma af Klint features a pyramid of colour beneath a golden sun, reflecting her interest in spirituality and theosophy. Part of her 'Paintings for the Temple' series, it showcases her pioneering approach to abstract art.
Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a Swedish artist and mystic whose paintings are considered among the first abstract works in Western art history. She produced a body of work that predates the more widely known abstract compositions of artists like Kandinsky and Mondrian. Af Klint believed she was acting as a medium, channeling higher spiritual powers to create her art. Her paintings often explore themes of spirituality, theosophy, and the interconnectedness of the universe. 'Altarpiece No. 1, Group X' is part of a series of paintings created between 1906 and 1915, known as 'The Paintings for the Temple'. This series is characterised by its large scale and symbolic imagery. The composition features a pyramid divided into horizontal bands of colour, surmounted by a golden disc representing the sun. A black triangle sits atop the pyramid, pointing towards the sun. The colour bands transition from warm hues at the base to cooler tones towards the top, possibly symbolising a spiritual ascent. The use of geometric forms and symbolic colours reflects af Klint's interest in conveying complex spiritual ideas through visual language.
