One was centered around Hilma af Klint. Considered to be one of the first abstract painters, she painted classical landscapes and portraits for a living, but secretly painted abstracts, under the inspiration of Spirits. Her abstract paintings were revealed to the public 40 years after her death in 1986. She uses a lot of colours and geometrical figures, circles, spirals, triangles... More here.

I just love your reviews of the art shows you attend, Helene. Living in a smaller community, our art museum is very limited in it's collections and we rarely get a notable show. But we are also a university town so we get to see all sorts of unusual and interesting art that our undergraduates and master's program artists conjure up. Much of it is wonderful!

Thanks KV. I try to just follow my eyes and my heart in exhibitions, rather than prepare the visit. I read on the subject afterwards :o)
I have often had very strong crushes on young or little known artists, especially thanks to blogs and so on. I think it's magical to be able to see so much beauty, talent, creativity thanks to the internet !
Hugs.
