●内容简介——

希尔玛-阿夫-克林特和她的灵性派圈子的三卷滑套式传真素描本

希尔玛-阿夫-克林特（1862-1944）是现代抽象艺术的先驱，在她的生活和工作中都远离了可见的物质世界，拥抱了精神现实。1896年，af Klint与Anna Cassel（1860-1937）、Cornelia Cederberg（1854-1933）、Sigrid Hedman（1855-1922）和Mathilda Nilsson（1844-1923）一起，离开了Edelweiss协会--一个与神学和灵学思想相结合的团体，建立了五人小组。这个全由女性组成的团体每周五在斯德哥尔摩聚会，进行集体冥想和降神会，她们相信自己能够引导神秘的生命，她们称之为高级大师，名字有阿玛利亚、阿南达和格雷戈尔。在恍惚状态下，妇女们通过自动写作和绘画将来自这些高级大师的信息转录到一系列共享的素描本中，形成了一个万花筒般的集体和原始作品，牢牢扎根在精神领域。

在这个团体存在的过程中，直到1908年，他们写满了15本这样的素描本，其中三本以传真的形式复制，并在这个豪华的滑套版中呈现。这套书包括第2、6和13号素描本，时间为1896年10月至1906年1月，为我们提供了一个难得的机会，让我们了解到af Klint在艺术和精神实践方面的早期影响。

A three-volume slipcased facsimile of sketchbooks from Hilma af Klint and her Spiritualist circle

Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) was a pioneer of modern abstract art who turned away from the visible, physical world to embrace a spiritual reality in both her life and work. In 1896, together with Anna Cassel (1860–1937), Cornelia Cederberg (1854–1933), Sigrid Hedman (1855–1922) and Mathilda Nilsson (1844–1923), af Klint left the Edelweiss Society―a group which combined Christian concepts with ideas of Theosophy and Spiritualism―and established The Five. The all-female group, which met every Friday in Stockholm to practice group meditations and séances, believed they could channel mystic beings whom they called the High Masters, with names such as Amaliel, Ananda and Gregor. In trancelike states, the women transcribed the messages from these High Masters via automatic writings and drawings into a series of shared sketchbooks, resulting in a kaleidoscope of collective and raw work that is firmly rooted in the spiritual realm.

Over the course of the group’s existence, up until 1908, they filled 15 such sketchbooks, three of which have been reproduced in facsimile form for the first time and are presented in this sumptuous slipcased edition. The set includes sketchbook nos. 2, 6 and 13, dating from October 1896 to January 1906, and provides a rare look into the early influential years of af Klint’s artistic and spiritual practice.
