“The Mahatmas Present Standing Point, Series II, No. 2a” is an artwork by Hilma af Klint, created in 1920 using graphite and oil on canvas. The piece is categorized within the Abstract Art movement and belongs to the abstract genre.
The artwork features a central circular motif divided into distinct vertical sections. On the left half, a black segment is paired with a contrasting white segment on the right, embodying notions of duality and balance. The background remains a neutral canvas, allowing the stark contrast to enhance the contemplative nature of the work. The use of symmetry and minimalistic design elements reflect af Klint’s inclination towards spiritual and esoteric themes, characteristic of her broader oeuvre in abstract art.
