The story of The Ten Largest, No. 7, Adulthood
Hilma af Klint's monumental Ten Largest series (1907) consists of ten ten-foot canvases depicting the four ages of human life — Childhood, Youth, Adulthood, Old Age — in jewel-bright orange, blue, and pink abstraction. Painted years before Kandinsky, Malevich, or Mondrian arrived at pure abstraction, the series remained hidden in af Klint's studio for decades, only emerging into the international art world after her 2018 Guggenheim retrospective. Adulthood (No. 7) is one of the most-reproduced individual canvases.
Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint was a Swedish artist and mystic whose paintings are considered to be among the first major abstract works in Western art history. A considerable body of her work predates the first purely abstract compositions by Kandinsky, Malevich, and Mondrian. She belonged to a group called "The Five", a circle of women inspired by Theosophy who shared a belief in the importance of trying to contact the "High Masters", often through séances. Her paintings, which sometimes resemble diagrams, were a visual representation of complex spiritual ideas.
