Hilma af Klint (šved. Hilma af Klint; 26. oktobra 1862 — 21. oktobar 1944) bila je švedska slikarka i mistik, a svojim stvaralaštvom je začetnik apstraktne umetnosti[1] čak i mnogo pre čuvenog Kandinskog[2]. Pripadala je tajnoj grupi slikarki pod nazivom: „Pet ” („The Five”) koje su bile ubeđenja da je važno uspostaviti kontakt sa takozvanim „Velikim Majstorima” putem seansi. Njene slike, koje ponekad podsećaju na dijagrame, bile su vizuelni prikazi tih složenih duhovnih ideja.

Biografija

uredi

Ona je četvrto dete kapetana Viktora af Klinta (Victor af Klint), švedskog pomorskog komandanta i Matilde af Klint rođene Zontag (Mathilda af Klint, née Sonntag). Hilma af Klint je leta provodila sa porodicom na njihovom porodičnom imanju Hanmora na ostrvu Adelso na jezeru Melaren. U ovom idiličnom okruženju, Hilma je veoma rano došla u kontakt sa prirodom i ta duboka povezanost sa oblicima u prirodi, bila je inspiracija njenog stvaralaštva. Kasnije se i preselila na susedno ostrvo Munso.

U porodici je stekla veliko interesovanje za matematiku i botaniku. Rano su se ispoljile njene sposobnosti u vizuelnoj umetnosti, i nakon što se njena porodica preselila u Stokholm, upisala je studije na Akademiji lepih umetnosti u Stokholmu (Konstakademien), gde je učila slikanje portreta i pejzaža.

Sa dvadeset godina je bila primljena na Kraljevsku akademiju lepih umetnosti (Royal Academy of Fine Arts). U periodu od 1882. do 1887. godine, uglavnom je učila crtanje i slikanje portreta i pejzaža.

Diplomirala je uz priznanja i dodeljena joj je stipendija u vidu ateljea u takozvanoj „Zgradi Ateljea" (Ateljébyggnaden) koja pripada Akademiji lepih umetnosti i nalazi se u centralnom Stokholmu. To je bilo glavno kulturno središte u tadašnjoj švedskoj prestonici. U istoj zgradi su se takođe nalazili Blanch’s Café i Blanch’s Art Gallery gde je bio prisutan sukob između konvencionalnog pogleda na umetnost Akademije lepih umetnosti i opozicionog pokreta Art Society (Konstnärsförbundet) potaknut slikarima francuskog En Plein Aira.

Hilma af Klint je započela sa radom u Stokholmu, cenjena zbog njenih pejzaža, slika sa botaničkim motivima i portreta koji postaju i izvorom njenih prihoda.[3] Ipak, njeno „životno delo” žovi kao sasvim posebna praksa.

Duhovne i filozofske ideje

uredi

1880. godine umire njena mlađa sestra Hermina i to je bio trenutak kada je počela da se razvija duhovna dimenzija u njenom životu.

Njeno interesovanje za apstrakciju i simbolizam je došlo uporedo sa njenim duhovnim radom koje je inače bilo veoma prisutno u Evropi krajem 19. i početkom 20. veka. Hilma af Klint se zanimala za teozofiju Helene Blavacke i učenje Kristijana Rozenkrojca. 1908. godine upoznaje Rudolfa Štajnera, osnivača Antropozofskog društva koji je bio u poseti Stokholmu. Rudolf Štajner je u velikoj meri uticao na nju uvodeći je u svoje filozofske ideje u pogledu umetnosti. Nakon nekoliko godina, 1920. sreće ga ponovo u Getenaumu (Goetheanum) u Dornahu, Švajcarska - u sedištu Antropozofskog društva.

Između 1921. i 1930. godine, ona često boravi u Getenaumu.

Opus Hilme af Klint može se shvatiti u širem kontekstu modernista koji tragaju za novim oblicima u umetničkim, duhovnim, političkim i naučnim sistemima početkom 20. veka. Tokom ovog perioda nalazimo ista interesovanja ka duhovnosti i kod drugih slikara tog doba: Kandinskog, Mondrijana, Maljeviča i francuskih Nabista od kojih su mnogi ispirisani, kao i Hilma af Klint, teozofskim pokretom. Međutim, umetnički prelaz ka ka apstraktnoj umetnosti i bez svakidašnjih umetničkih formi bi se kod Hilme af Klint odigrao i bez bilo kakvih kontakata sa savremenim modernim pokretima.

Dela Hilme af Klint su najvećim delom duhovna, i njen umetnički rad je posledica te duhovnosti.

Na Akademiji lepih umetnosti, upoznala je Anu Kasel (Anna Cassel), prvu od četiri koleginice sa kojima je kasnije radila u grupi Pet (The Five / de Fem), grupi umetnica koje su delile njene ideje. Ova grupa Pet se okupljala i učestvovala u organizovanim duhovnim susretima i seansama. Sačinile su knjigu zapisa iz viših sfera - mističnih misli u vidu poruka koje su dobijale od Velikih majstora ("Höga Mästare").

Kroz rad sa grupom Pet, Hilma af Klint je postala sklona eksperimentalnom automatskom crtanju već od 1896. godine, bivajući vođena inventivnim geometrijskim vizuelnim jezikom sposobna da konceptualizuje nevidljive sile unutrašnjeg i spoljašnjeg sveta. Čim je postala prijemčivija za ovaj vid izražavanja, Hilma af Klint je bila određena od strane Velikih Majstora da kreira slike za Hram - međutim, ona nikada nije shvatila na šta se ovaj Hram odnosi. Hilma af Klint je osećala da je bila vođena silom koja je vodila njenu ruku. Zapisala je u svoju svesku:

“Slike bivaju stvarane direktno kroz mene, bez prethodnih nacrta i uz veliku silu. Nisam imala pojma šta bi slike trebale da prikazuju; ipak, radila sam brzo i sigurno bez menjanja ijednog zamaha četkicom.”

1906. godine, nakon dvadeset godina rada, i u svojoj 44. godini života, Hilma af Klint je naslikala svoju prvu seriju apstraktnih slika.The work for the Temple ran between 1906 and 1915, carried out in two phases with an interruption between 1908 and 1912. As Hilma af Klint discovered her new form of visual expression, she developed a new artistic language. Her painting became more autonomous and more intentional. The spiritual would however continue being the main source of creativity throughout the rest of her life.

The collection for the Temple counts in total 193 paintings, grouped in several sub-series. The major paintings, dated 1907, are extremely large in size : each painting measures approximately 2,40 x 3,20m. This series, called The Ten Largest, describes the different phases in life, from early childhood to old age.

Quite apart from their diagrammatic purpose the paintings have a freshness and a modern aesthetic of tentative line and hastily captured image: a segmented circle, a helix bisected and divided into a spectrum of lightly painted colors. The artistic world of Hilma af Klint is impregnated with symbols, letters and words. The paintings often depicts symmetrical dualities, or reciprocities : up and down, in and out, earthly and esoteric, male and female, good and evil. The colour choice is throughout metaphorical: blue stands for the female spirit, yellow for the male one, and pink / red for physical / spiritual love. The Swan and the Dove, names of two series of the Paintings for the Temple, are also symbolic, representing respectively transcendence and love. As gates to other dimensions, her paintings call for interpretation on a narrative, esoterically and artistic level.
