Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) was an admiral's daughter, born in Sweden, a country that permitted women to study art well before France, Germany or Italy. As a result, she was able to enrol at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm in 1882. After graduating, she gradually gained recognition as a landscape and portrait painter. She also had a passion for the study of plants and animals. Klint was born into a protestant family and came into early contact with theosophy, the first religious organisation in Europe that did not discriminate against women. Like Wassily Kandinsky, Klint was probably familiar with the attempts of theosophical authors Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater to translate music into visual forms. One of the most successful theosophical texts was published in 1904/1905. It had been written by Rudolf Steiner, whom Kandinsky and Klint met, independently of one another, in 1908. Its title was: How to Know Higher Worlds. Klint and Kandinsky painted the answer: through art. Kandinsky is generally regarded as the pioneer of abstract art. However, Klint might well claim that title.
