Matthew Collings is a London based artist who has recently been exploring the lives of famous artists, the latest two studies are of 'Hilma af Klint', and I am loving his drawings of her working.
Above is 'Hilma af Klint in the 1910s composing circle shapes and tendril-like lines on a canvas laid on the floor — spirits tell her what symbols to paint, but spirits don’t know anything about painting, so it’s up to her to invent the compositional containers for all the spirit meaning — the spirits look on curiously.'
Below: Hilma af Klint in the painting studio in the 1910s studying Goethe, Buddha, Rudolf Steiner and the Fourth Dimension.
