Hilma af Klint's daring abstractions exert a mystical magnetism

When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint's radically abstract painting practice--one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

Accompanying the first major survey exhibition of the artist's work in the United States, Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future represents her groundbreaking painting series while expanding recent scholarship to present the fullest picture yet of her life and art. Essays explore the social, intellectual and artistic context of af Klint's 1906 break with figuration and her subsequent development, placing her in the context of Swedish modernism and folk art traditions, contemporary scientific discoveries, and spiritualist and occult movements. A roundtable discussion among contemporary artists, scholars and curators considers af Klint's sources and relevance to art in the 21st century. The volume also delves into her unrealized plans for a spiral-shaped temple in which to display her art--a wish that finds a fortuitous answer in the Guggenheim Museum's rotunda, the site of the exhibition.

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Though her paintings were not seen publicly until 1987, her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich.

Great for Small to Medium Dogs
Size: Critter Zoo, Color: 5 Different Animals
I bought these for my boys to play with. One of them loves to tear the squeaker out of anything that, well, squeaks. These do more than squeak! So far, they have survived the terrorist chihuahua/piranha boy! They’re pretty awesome toys and my kids’ favorites! They’re sturdy and goofy looking! I’m writing this review a couple months after my purchase. One reason why is I want to “buy again” (just because they have their squeakers, doesn’t mean they haven’t been chewed on!). I have a large, long chihuahua (<—— terrorist/piranha boy) and a min-pin mix. These toys are the perfect size for them. There is some chew damage from the terrorist but considering he can get a squeaker or of a Lamb Chop within 5 minutes, I’d say these toys are the best I’ve run across in quality, thickness of the material, minimal stuffing and durability. Highly, strongly, encourage you to, purchase if you’re looking for good toys for small to medium dogs!

Great variety for a good price!
Size: Critter Zoo, Color: 5 Different Animals
We have a grand puppy that is full of energy, and loves her toys! The squeakier the better! We ordered these, and we enjoy introducing a new toy each time they come over. Good quality, strong squeakers, and a happy puppy!

Funny toys
Size: Critter Zoo, Color: 5 Different Animals
Fun toy for our 90 pound doodle, but don’t expect them to last forever. Goofy eyes and features make it a fun toy. If a big dog sits down with it, they will be able to pull it apart. The bird lasted about 5 days with solid supervision. Let’s be honest, no toy is indestructible. The price and number of funny creatures makes this a good buy in my opinion.
