Synopsis
An exploration of the powerful work of two groundbreaking modern artists
For the first time, the complex, symbiotic ecologies that sustained the practices of two of the 20th century’s greatest painters are revealed. With a shared rootedness in the natural world and its wondrous life forms, the work of Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian celebrates the numinous spiritual power of nature and how this gives both art and life meaning. Including works never before seen in the UK, this publication will both elucidate and invigorate our understanding of two groundbreaking artists, and it will be sure to get synapses firing.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tate Modern Exhibition, 20 APRIL - 3 SEPTEMBER 2023Although they never met, Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian shared a deep dynamic connection to the natural world and began their careers as landscape painters. For them, science and mysticism were not exclusive practices, but part of the same essential framework for understanding the life forces around them. Both artists engaged with science and esoteric thought as tools for exploring the underlying structures of nature and how they give meaning to art and life. Natural forms are abstracted to their atomic levels; cells evolve, dividing and expanding the canvas in colour; sinuous stems spiral into the ether whilst the crystalline formations of grids stretch out to form an infinite universe.
