Let’s call her ”af Klint”, ok? Not ”Hilma” 🙏
He’s not abbreviated Wassily but Kandinsky, not Vincent but Van Gogh, not Henri but Matisse.
Our artist is logically not ”Hilma” but ”af Klint”. Thank you.

We are marking a pause in the series Parsifal as we are about to enter the last sub-series of the 144 paintings.
An obvious association regarding Parsifal is the opera by Richard Wagner (1813-1883) with the same name. >>🧵

Nu går solen knappast ner,
bländar bara av sitt sken.
Skymningsbård blir gryningstimme
varken tidig eller sen.
Juni natt blir aldrig av,
liknar mest en daggig dag.
Slöjlikt lyfter sig dess skymning
och bärs bort på ljusa hav.
