Notes and Methods Review: The working methods of visionary art - I was lucky enough to see the Hilma af Klint exhibit at the Guggenheim, which included some of these notebooks. This volume presents every page in colorful detail, as well as providing English translation for the Swedish text. What strikes me is how she made these miniature reproductions of her immense paintings, so as to be able to share the work in an easily portable form. Yet these miniatures have a distinctive charm of their own, as if the richness & scope of the huge originals have been condensed down into something small & tightly focused. And it's also fascination to see the original sketches done during her years as a medium in her working group of The Five. Many of the shapes & patterns that take full form in the paintings have their origins here, emerging in a raw state from the depths of her psyche … or from another plane of existence, as she might have defined it. However you look at it, the source of the art is somewhere other than the artist's conscious mind, visions made tangible by her gifted eye & hand. But psychological musings, while worth pursuing, are hardly the most important thing here: what matters is the art itself & the otherworldly beauty & mystery that it so successfully conveys. For any devotee of Hilma af Klint, this is a necessary book; but it's not just for devotees, either. Anyone fascinated by the inner universe of the human mind & soul, especially when brought forth by a unique creator, will find this book compelling & moving — most highly recommended! Review: This is a Magnificent Hard Bound Book on a Great Artist! - For anyone learning about and attracted to the art of Hilma af Klint, this is the perfect companion to the recently published book for the exhibition at the Guggenheim. Hilma af Klint kept detailed sketchbooks with extensive notes. Each book is a valuable work of art. This magnificently published hard bound book is based on the most perfectly reproduced image captures of the pages from her sketchbooks (all in color). There is excellent scholastic research that places these volumes in historical context by explaining the "coded" writings of Hilma af Klint. PP 268 to 285 give the reader a detailed "decoding" of the artist's terms. This book is a treasure! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #210,202 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #224 in Individual Artist Monographs #364 in Arts & Photography Criticism #740 in Art History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (322) | | Dimensions | 10.1 x 7.5 x 1 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 022659193X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0226591933 | | Item Weight | 2.2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | September 25, 2018 | | Publisher | University of Chicago Press | ## Images ![Notes and Methods - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812K3B4e3OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The working methods of visionary art *by T***N on June 15, 2019* I was lucky enough to see the Hilma af Klint exhibit at the Guggenheim, which included some of these notebooks.
