Sorry for the delay.
On June 15 we inaugurated the first place dedicated to Hilma af Klint. The center is called Hilma af Klint’s Ateljé and it’s located on the island Adelsö, about 1hr from Stockholm.

We might never know more details than this.
We do know now, after reading her notes, that she considered herself as a Parsifal. She was carrying the Holy Sword, the message and healer to humanity. The Sword which for both af Klint and Wagner symbolised the link between spirit and body.

Few pieces of music have been so written about as Richard Wagner’s Parsifal, so even in Sweden. Between 1882 and 1916 no less than 3500 articles had been published in the Swedish press about the opera. So we can assume Hilma af Klint, who was also interested in music, had read about it. >>

The original premiere of Parsifal took place at the second Bayreuth festival in the summer of 1882. Hilma af Klint was then 20 years old and about to enter the Royal Academy of Arts. >>

Hilma af Klint was most likely working from Stockholm as the studio at Munsö wasn’t ready before 1918. The premiere of Richard Wagner’s Parsifal took place at the Stockholm Opera on April 21 1917, ie half a year AFTER Hilma af Klint completed her series of 144 paintings. >>

He carries the Sword with him but cannot use it to fight (and defend himself); it has to be brought back unsoiled to the castle to heal the king. Wagner’s sword is Sacred, it is the Sword of the Graal.

The Sword of the Graal. The same sword which had pierced the side of Jesus hanging on the Cross.
The choice of spelling also bears meaning. If Perceval means “Through the Valley” (“per ce val”), Parsifal holds its meaning from Parsi = fool and Fal=pure, “The pure fool”. >>
