Hilma af Klint: What Stands Behind the Flowers explores the groundbreaking Swedish artist who created abstract paintings years before Kandinsky, driven by spiritual and mystical visions. This MoMA publication examines af Klint's radical artistic practice, revealing how her work challenged conventional boundaries between art, spirituality, and science. The book celebrates an artist whose visionary paintings remained hidden for decades, only to be recognized as pioneering achievements in abstract art.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because af Klint was making revolutionary art in secret, driven by visions she believed came from beyond. Her story reminds us that the history of art is full of overlooked voices, and that sometimes the most radical work happens in solitude, waiting for the world to catch up.
