Hilma af Klint | Altarpieces & Other Pieces

The last group from The Paintings for the Temple, completed in 1915, consists of three large canvases that Hilma af Klint called Altarpieces. These works appear to relate to Theosophy’s version of evolutionary theory, in which evolution occurs in two directions, elevating from the physical to the spiritual and descending from the divine to the material world.
