Beyond the Visible - Hilma af Klint
How is it possible for an artist to discover abstraction at the turn of the 20th century with no one noticing? A woman, misunderstood and hidden, shakes the art world with her mind-boggling work. Hilma af Klint created her first abstract painting in 1906, four years before Wassily Kandinsky. But why did she go unnoticed? Why aren't her paintings available for purchase? This documentary examines her life and work, the position of women in art history, and the unearthing of an art scandal. Her pursuit of life's meaning and her vast intellect resulted in a timeless, remarkable body of work.
