Hilma af Klint Group IX no12 The Swan Floor Mat

Artwork
Group IX/SUW, No. 12, The Swan is part of an extraordinary series created by Swedish artist Hilma af Klint in 1915, decades before abstract art became an established movement. This radiant work belongs to af Klint's "The Swan" series, within her larger body of work exploring spiritual themes through geometric abstraction. The painting features bold, curved forms in contrasting light and dark, representing the duality inherent in existence and the mystical concept of balance between opposing forces.
What makes this work particularly remarkable is that af Klint created abstract paintings as early as 1906, years before pioneers like Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Malevich, who are traditionally credited with inventing abstraction. However, following spiritual guidance she believed she received, af Klint stipulated that her abstract works should not be shown publicly until 20 years after her death. This directive kept her revolutionary art hidden from the world until the 1960s, and it wasn't until a major retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in 2018-2019 that her genius received widespread recognition.
This painting exemplifies af Klint's unique artistic vision, combining geometric precision with spiritual symbolism. The swan, a recurring motif in her work, represents transcendence and duality—black and white, material and spiritual, masculine and feminine. She developed her abstract language through spiritual practices, including séances with a group of women called "The Five," believing herself to be a medium channeling higher consciousness. While af Klint's work references theosophy, anthroposophy, and other esoteric traditions, it also demonstrates remarkable formal innovation and compositional sophistication. Today, this visionary work is housed in the Hilma af Klint Foundation collection in Sweden and stands as a testament to af Klint's rightful place as one of the most important pioneers of abstract art—a woman whose spiritual vision led her to create radically modern work long before the male artists who have traditionally received credit for abstraction's development.
