Hilma af Klint (b. Sweden, 1862-1944) and Piet Mondrian (b. Netherlands, 1872-1944) were two of the most imaginative artists of the twentieth century. THE first question you have is why put these two artists together: they never shagged, met, or even knew about each other. They were of the same generation, both started in landscapes and both used oils, end of. Where Tate Modern is brilliant is how every exhibition is also a cohesive narrative, succinct and accessible, leaving even the noob enlightened. And Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian: Forms of Life is no exception. Featuring around 250 works, including paintings, drawings and archival materials, the show puts these two visionary painters in close dialogue for the first time and by doing so it reveals how their art reflected radical new ideas, theories and scientific discoveries in an era of rapid social change.
