The artwork, titled “The Dove, Nr. 12,” was created by Hilma af Klint in 1915. This piece, part of the Abstract Art movement, falls within the genre of symbolic painting.
The artwork features a central sphere with a prominent ring encircling it, evoking the imagery of a planet with a ring system. The sphere is primarily composed of muted gray tones, with the ring rendered in a subtle lavender shade. A smaller, brightly colored circle is situated within the ring’s inner circumference, adding a focal point of vibrant contrast. The background is dominated by a striking yellow hue, and the composition is framed by four symbols at each corner. These elements come together to create a composition that is both cosmic and symbolic, inviting contemplation of its deeper meanings.
