Tate Modern: Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian
Two Strangers Explore Forms of Life
Two who never met and yet miraculously found each other: Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian did not only share the profession of landscape painter. Their specific interests were also similar in many respects. From 20 April, the Tate Modern in London is venturing an experiment involving both artists.

Although they never met, their styles are tangential: the Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862 - 1944) and the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872 - 1944) approached abstract art through their nature-oriented language. The Tate Modern in London is now putting their works into dialogue and uncovering the similarities from 20 April in the exhibition Hilma af Klint & Piet Mondrian. Forms of Life.
The focus of the event is the quest of both to understand the power of life on earth. Both Mondrian and af Klint became interested in nature through their work as landscape painters. Both were equally sympathetic to spirituality, scientific discovery and philosophy. In addition to Mondrian's well-known grids, the show also presents his flower paintings, which are otherwise rarely seen. Af Klint's works will puzzle visitors with their mystical abstraction. Until 3 September, they will be immersed in vivid signs, forms and colours by the two artists.
