Less well-known are her artistic beginnings, which were devoted to an intensive study of nature. In the spring and summer months of 1919 and 1920, when she was already creating her today acclaimed abstract paintings, she drew flowers almost every day: \"I will try to capture the flowers of the earth,\" she noted. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe recently discovered folder with 46 watercolours, which is made available here as a facsimile edition, reveals the uniquely individual approach of the Swedish exceptional artist: colourful watercolours convey the pulsating power of nature and contrast the delicate flowers at the same time - contrary to botanical representation conventions - precisely drawn diagrams. Realism and fiction, near vision and vision meet each other. In the interplay of organic forms and abstract structures, the portofolio thus refers to the overarching spiritual, cosmological dimension of Hilma af Klint's creation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e49 facsimilated drawings in full-size (500 x 270 mm) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20-page booklet with thread binding (267 x 184 mm). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn a linen-covered bookbinding box with magnetic closure 500 x 270 mm and bow. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScreen print on the lid, cardboard sleeve, shrink-wrapped. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHilma af Klint (1862, Solna–1944, Danderyd) studied painting at the Royal Academy of Liberal Arts in Stockholm.
