CGiii Comment
Lasse Hallström paints a lush and sensuous portrait of the life of pioneering artist, Hilma af Klint, who was largely written off by the art world during her lifetime. Beguiling and magnetic, Hilma died in 1944, unknown and unrecognized as the woman who invented abstract painting, displacing Kandinsky, Malevich, and Mondrian as the initiators of Modernism. From her invincible belief in spirits, to her unconventional romantic life and close circle of fellow female artists who converged around Hilma and her atelier, Hilma is a vivid biography of a woman who chose to remain true to her vision as an artist, despite working in a hostile, misogynistic world where women were not expected to express themselves.
