Hilma af Klint, Mapping the Invisible

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) began painting her non-descriptive and very symbolic images as early as 1906. Maps of Invisibility is the very first book about the artist Hilma af Klint and her work for children. It is a book not only about art, but also about magic, mysticism, and scientific discoveries. The interest in Hilma af Klint has grown massively during the past few years. Her work will be displayed in exhibitions and museums all over the world during many years to come. Maps of Invisibility is highly illustrated with both quality reproductions of Hilma af Klint s work and with illustrations by Karin Eklund.

Ylva Hillström is an art historian and curator at Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
Karin Eklund is an illustrator living and working in Cambridge.
