Synopsis
How can an artist discover abstraction by the beginning of the 20th century and nobody is noticing? A woman, misjudged and concealed, rocks the art world with her mind-blowing oeuvre. Hilma af Klint was a pioneer creating her first abstract painting in 1906, four years before Vassily Kandinsky. But why was she ignored? Why are her paintings not available on the market? This first film on her is about her life and work, the role of women in art history and the discovery of an art scandal. Her quest for meaning in life and a boundless thinking led into a timeless, outstanding oeuvre.

The art and life of Hilma af Klint is fascinating to begin with. The film is nicely paced and beautifully shot.

[FICM] A documentary that approaches the figure of the Swedish artist Hilma af Klint and claims her as an important part of abstract painting, which represents a rewriting of the 20th century History of Art. This produces discomfort because reinterprets the position of relevant male artists. The form does not pose great proposals, but the film captures the fascination of the discovery of such an important figure.
