Films at The Whitaker: Beyond The Visible – Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint was an abstract artist before the term existed, a visionary, trailblazing figure who, inspired by spiritualism, modern science, and the riches of the natural world around her, began in 1906 to reel out a series of huge, colourful, sensual, strange works without precedent in painting.
The subject of an upcoming retrospective at Tate Modern, af Klint was for years an all-but-forgotten figure in art historical discourse.
Director Halina Dryschka’s dazzling, course-correcting documentary describes not only the life and craft of af Klint, but also the process of her mischaracterization and erasure by both a patriarchal narrative of artistic progress and capitalistic determination of artistic value.
And remember you can make a night of it at The Whitaker and book your table at our Bar & Kitchen before the film.
All our screenings are subtitled in English.
