The Centre Pompidou and the Grand Palais are organizing the first major monographic exhibition in France dedicated to Swedish artist Hilma af Klint. Curated by art historian Pascal Rousseau, the exhibition examines af Klint’s pioneering role in abstraction through works such as 'The Paintings for the Temple' series created between 1906 and 1915. The presentation highlights the artist's spiritualist influences and her technical mastery of tempera and large-scale geometric compositions.
