In 2019, astronomer Britt Lundgren noted a striking similarity between Hilma af Klint's abstract geometric shapes and the scientific diagrams by physicist Thomas Young, suggesting a profound intersection of art and science.
Lundgren's observations suggested that af Klint’s exploration of abstract forms and spiritual concepts paralleled scientific endeavors to represent the invisible forces that shape our understanding of the universe.
Despite her groundbreaking work in abstraction, af Klint's art was largely unrecognized during her lifetime, revealing how cultural readiness can influence the reception of innovative artistic expressions.
Af Klint's involvement with The Five spurred her to develop a unique visual language that combined her spiritual beliefs with artistic practice, showcasing the deep connections between spirituality, science, and art.
