Beyond the Visible - Hilma af Klint
How is it that an artist may make the discovery of abstraction at the turn of the 20th century and nobody would take notice? A woman who has been overlooked and kept a secret is causing a stir in the art world with her extraordinary body of work. A pioneer in the field of abstract art, Hilma af Klint produced her first work in the genre in 1906, four years before Vassily Kandinsky did the same. But why did you choose to ignore her? Why aren't her paintings for sale in the galleries? This is the first film to be made on her, and it focuses on her life and work, as well as the uncovering of an art scandal and the role of women in art history. Her search for the meaning of life, combined with her unlimited thinking, resulted in a work that is both ageless and exceptional.
