"Hilma af Klint: Future Visions" will introduce the work of Hilma af Klint (1862-1944), a Swedish artist and mystic whose work explored the origins and nature of the universe. Though she is now known as one of the first abstract painters, af Klint's work remained hidden at her request for 100 years after her death. This talk will celebrate the life and artistic legacy of af Klint and her colorful visions for the future.
