In the spring and summer of 1919 and 1920, during a period of intense engagement with nature, artist Hilma af Klint drew flowers almost every day. “I will try,” she wrote, “to grasp the flowers of the earth.” This exhibition focuses on a recently discovered portfolio of drawings—jewel-toned watercolors made by a keen-eyed naturalist, attuned to the rhythms and bounty of the blooming season.
Breaking with traditional botanical art, af Klint juxtaposed her exquisitely rendered blossoms with precisely drawn diagrams: a blooming sunflower is echoed by nested circles; a marsh marigold is accompanied by mirrored spirals; a cluster of budding branches is set against checkerboards of dots and strokes. With this profusion of forms—an expansion of the abstract language for which she is best known—af Klint visualizes “what stands behind the flowers,” demonstrating her belief that careful observation of her surroundings reveals ineffable aspects of the human condition.

It&#39;s real and effective. It&#39;s the official channel, which is much more reliable than the black guy at the door who blocks the road to sell you stuff. Hahahaha. We made an appointment at 9 a.m., and there weren&#39;t many people at that time. But because we were waiting for people, there was already a long line at 9:30. It&#39;s better to go earlier.

It is recommended to queue up at the time of booking tickets. You can enter after the time and you don&#39;t have to wait;
The diversion guidance is good and not too crowded;
The observation deck is crowded and windy, and it is quite cold in May;
The ticket price for watching the sunset in the evening is a bit more expensive, so make a reservation in advance.
