The pictures were painted directly through me, without preliminary drawings, and with great power. I had no idea what the images would depict and still, I worked quickly and surely without changing a single brushstroke. -Hilma af Klint
When Hilma af Klint (18621944) began creating radically abstract paintings in 1906, they were like little that had been seen before bold, colourful, and untethered from any recognisable references to the physical world. Several years before Vasily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and others would take similar strides to free their artwork of representational content. Yet af Klint rarely exhibited her groundbreaking paintings and, convinced the world was not ready for them, stipulated that they not be shown for twenty years following her death. Ultimately, her abstractions remained all but unseen until 1986.
The majestic swan symbolised the grandeur of the spirit to Helena Blavatsky, founder of Theosophy, a spiritualist movement of great interest to Hilma af Klint; in alchemy, the swan represents the union of opposites necessary for the creation of the philosophers stone, a substance believed to turn base metals into gold.
In this series, af Klint blends such established symbolism with her own distinctive interpretations. The first painting portrays two swans one black (male, with a yellow beak), the other white (female, with blue face and feet). This stark palette underscores the dualities of light and dark, male and female, life and death.
