The artwork “Untitled” by Hilma af Klint, belonging to the Symbolism art movement, is categorized under symbolic painting. This composition exemplifies the artist’s vision melding spiritual and abstract elements, typical of the Symbolism movement.
The artwork depicts a slanted cube structure intricately detailed with layers and surrounded by radiant bursts of color. Rising vertically from the center of this cube, a slender, rod-like element extends upwards, penetrating a dark, enigmatic backdrop. The vibrant colors around the cube gradually transition into a more subdued palette, conveying a sense of depth and transcendence. Overall, the juxtaposition of geometric precision with ethereal light effects manifests a blend of mysticism and structured symbolism, characteristic of af Klint’s oeuvre.
