Hilma af Klint at Cinemateket

Halina Dyrschka’s film “Beyond the Visible – Hilma af Klint” introduces the Swedish abstract artist and her pioneering work.

After her passing in 1944 it took decades until her art gained any serious attention but today, she’s regarded as one of the most influential artists of her time. In the autumn of 2018, Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future at the Guggenheim museum in New York became the best attended exhibition in the history of the institution.
