Hilma af Klint, a Swedish artist born in 1862, has emerged from a sea of all male artists as the true pioneer of abstract art. She began making giant, bold, colorful shapes in 1906 (these three were done a year later), but feared the art world wouldn t understand her work and stipulated it couldn t be exhibited until 20 years after her death. That happened in 1944, a few days shy of her 82nd birthday, in a tram accident in Stockholm. The @guggenheim s current show today she d be 156 finally asserts her spot at the front (not so fast, Kandinsky and Mondrian) in one of the most influential moments in art history, and couldn t come at a more poignant time for female artists. Go head, Hilma!
