Buddha's Standpoint in the Earthly Life by Hilma af Klint

Buddha's Standpoint in the Earthly Life (1920)

Hilma af Klint | Abstract / Spiritual Art | Oil on canvas

This painting comes from a series Hilma made in 1920 showing the points of view of different religions, here Buddhism, at different moments in history. Much of her abstract work came before the first purely abstract pictures by famous painters like Kandinsky and Mondrian!

Did you know? Hilma asked that her work be kept secret for at least twenty years after she died. Decades later, a Guggenheim show of her paintings in New York drew more than 600,000 visitors, the most in that museum's history!
