In 1906, Swedish painter Hilma af Klint created her first abstract painting in her Stockholm studio \u2013 five whole years before Kandinsky, the man celebrated for decades as the pioneer of abstract art. That painting was the beginning of a body of work that came to comprise over 1,300 abstract paintings. Those works, breath-taking in their consistency and obsessive quality, lay hidden from posterity for several decades. How is it possible that a woman founded abstract painting in the early 20th century, and no one took any notice?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
