Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was very much ahead of all the major movements of the 20^th century and rewrote the timeline of modern art. Well before such established figures of abstract art as Kandinsky and Malevich, she produced paintings that were esoteric in inspiration and exceptional in their audacity, combining geometry, areas of bright colour and organic motifs.

An exhibition by Grand Palais × Centre Pompidou  

Although this pioneering artist remained in the shadows for many years, she is now considered a major figure of modernity, capable of transcending the boundaries between art, science and spirituality and continuing to inspire new generations. Come and discover the very first solo exhibition dedicated to this Swedish artist in France. 

The Grand Palais and Centre Pompidou are organising a key event by exhibiting her major work, the “Paintings for the Temple” cycle (1906-1915), for the first time in France, including the celebrated and monumental series of “The Ten Largest”, a testimony to the visionary power of an artist who was undeniably ahead of her time. Hilma af Klint trained at the Stockholm Royal Academy of Fine Art and led a double life as an artist, following convention with her traditional figurative works and producing her resolutely avant-garde pieces in secret.
