Wall Gazing- "Don’t hyperventilate over external affairs, environmental conditions, or internal mental phenomena. Make your mind like a wall (xin ru qiangbi 心如牆壁), and you will be able to enter the Way."

I recently had the good fortune to see the Hilma af Klint exhibit at the Guggenheim.

Here is a nice article about her and the exhibit - https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/hilma-af-klint

 

 

(From the article:)

It was years before Vasily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, and others would take similar strides to rid their own artwork of representational content.

 

I see this as a worthy goal!  To rid the artwork of representational content.  Over to the right brain indeed.

It is an engraving not a painting, but it is great art - Albrecht Durerhb_43_106.2.thumb.jpg.962dabaa3fb9798742e9340d5e0320d6.jpg

 

Wow, not only talent but, so much dedication!

Hi Steve, Glad to hear you mention her exhibit. I enjoyed it as well. Great to see her development over the decades. I especially enjoyed her use of color and her large abstract works.
