Altarpieces No.3 Needlepoint Canvas by Hilma af Klint

Description Hilma af Klint was a Swedish artist and mystic whose paintings were amongst the first abstract art. A considerable body of her abstract work predates the first purely abstract compositions by Kandinsky. She belonged to a group called “The Five”, a circle of women who shared her belief in the importance of trying to make contact with the outer world. Her paintings, which sometimes resemble diagrams, were a visual representation of complex spiritual ideas.  This canvas is called Altarpieces, from her group 9 No.3 created in 1915.  It measures 12″ x 16″ on 14 or 18 mesh mono deluxe needlepoint canvas. If is also available in several larger sizes, including a rug size for a beautiful focal point.  We are happy to select and add appropriate wool or silk threads to complete.  Please indicate your mesh preference in the note section at checkout.  Plesae contact us if you would like threads.  Available in alternate sizes.
