National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo(2)
β In this Japanese exhibition, approximately 140 works will be displayed, including a series of 10 paintings titled "The Ten Largest" (1907), each over 3 meters in height. ππΈ All of these works are making their debut in Japan. Centered around her masterpiece "The Paintings for the Temple" (1906-1915), the exhibition is divided into five chapters, outlining her artistic journey. It also introduces the materials left by the artist and the various sources of inspiration for her work, such as the mystical ideas of her contemporaries and the women's movement. π¨β¨ ππΈ "The Paintings for the Temple" is Hilma af Klint's most iconic series of abstract paintings, created between 1906 and 1915. It includes seven sub-series like "Primeval Chaos", "The Ten Largest", "The Swans", and "The Altarpieces", totaling 196 works. These paintings feature rich colors, geometric images, and mystical symbols, as well as organic patterns like shells and lilies, visually representing Hilma af Klint's complex spiritual philosophy. ππΈ For example, the "The Ten Largest" series interprets the four stages of human life from childhood to old age, while the "The Swans" series represents the artist's interpretation of humanity's desire for unity. ππ¨ #Japan #JapanTravel #JapanTourism ππΈ
