Die 5 Leben der Hilma af Klint

Philipp Deines brings the visionary Swedish artist Hilma af Klint to life in this single-issue graphic biography from Hatje Cantz, launched in 2022. Through Deines’s own writing and art, the comic explores the five distinct phases of af Klint’s life and work, from her early spiritualist experiments to the abstract paintings she kept largely hidden. It’s a thoughtful, visually driven portrait of an artist whose pioneering role in abstraction has only recently gained widespread recognition.
