"A Cup of Abstract" Hilma af Klint | Cupfull Collection 8x8 Original Oil (framed)
The Cupfull Collection is here! In July I joined in on an Instagram painting challenge with cups inspired by a female artist or designer. It was fun to learn about each creative woman and create a cup inspired by their contribution to art and design.
Day 3/4: This cup is influenced by Swedish artist, Hilma Af Klint (1862-1944). She was a graduate of Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and supported herself by selling her traditional landscapes and portraits. Eventually, her interest in spiritualism, science and symbolism created a major shift to abstraction in her work. Although most people did not see this body of work in her lifetime, they are considered among the first abstract works in Western art history. I appreciate the almost whimsical nature of the abstracts and her exploration of contrasts.
