Pieter, I wish I could make a picture like Malevitz, so that my picture would hang in the museum Jaga, Geometric abstract art or Abstract art seems easy, but it isn't. This week I am on vacation in my parents place, and I made some geometric abstract paintings in my parents studio. They are complicated or you could say I made it complicated for myself, because I designed, drawed and painted them. They have to be sharp,very sharp on the edges, are very strict, the colors have to be right and fitting, and I have two very good art critics, my mom and dad. I was and am actualy working on one painting together with my mother. Both my mom and dad paint. My father more traditional realistic. Very good. He is an exellent drawer and good painter and my mother more abstract. She has talent, a feeling for composition and color. It is great to work with her one one painting, 40 X 50 cm. Pieter

Hilma af KlintHilma af Klint (1862–1944) was a Swedish artist and mystic whose paintings were amongst the first abstract art. She belonged to a group called 'The Five' and the paintings or diagrams were a visual representation of complex philosophical ideas. Early lifeThe fourth child of Captain Victor af Klint, a Swedish naval commander, and Mathilda af Klint (née Sonntag), Hilma af Klint spent summers with her family at their farm Hammora on the island of Adelsö in Lake Mälaren. In these idylic surroundings Hilma came into contact with nature at an early stage in her life and this deep association with natural forms was to be an inspiration in her work. From her father she adopted an interest in mathematics. In 1880 her younger sister Hermina died and it was at this time that the spiritual dimension of her life began to develop. She showed an early ability in visual art and after the family had moved to Stockholm she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts for five years during which time she learned portraiture and landscape painting . Here she met Anna Cassel, the first of the four women with whom she later worked in 'The Five' ( de fem), a group of artists who shared her ideas. Her more conventional painting became the source of her financial income while the 'life's work' remained a quite separate practice. Spiritual and Philosophical IdeasThe project on which 'the Five' were engaged involved, in 1892, recording in a book a completely new system of mystical thought in the form of messages from higher spirits. One, Gregor, spoke thus: 'all the knowledge that is not of the senses, not of the intellect, not of the heart but is the property that exclusively belongs to the deepest aspect of your being...the knowledge of your spirit'. It is interesting to note that af Klint's work ran parallel to the development of abstract art by other artists such as Mondriaan, Malevich and Kandinsky who were, like af Klint, inspired by the Theosophical Movement founded by Madame Blavatsky. Af Klint's work can also be seen in the wider context of the modernist search for new forms in artistic, spiritual, political and scientific systems at the turn of the 19th century. WorkThrough her work with the group 'the Five' af Klint created experimental automatic drawing as early as 1896, leading her towards an inventive geometric visual language capable of conceptualising invisible forces both of the inner and outer worlds. Quite apart from their diagrammatic purpose the paintings have a freshness and a modern aesthetic of tentative line and hastily captured image: a segmented circle, a helix bisected and divided into a spectrum of lightly painted colours. She continued prolifically to add to the body of work amounting to over 1000 pieces until 1941. She requested that it should not be shown until 20 years after the end of her life. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilma_af_Klint

Ilya BolotowskyIlya Bolotowsky (1907 – 1981) was a leading early 20th-century painter in abstract styles in New York City. His work, a search for philosophical order through visual expression, embraced Cubism and Geometric abstraction and was much influenced by Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan. He was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. Born to Jewish parents, Bolotowsky immigrated to America in 1923 via Constantinople, settling in New York City. He attended the National Academy of Design. He became associated with a group called The Ten, artists, including Louis Schanker, Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Rothko and Joseph Solman, who rebelled against the strictures of the Academy and held independent exhibitions. In 1936, having turned to geometric abstractions, he was one of the founding members of the American Abstract Artists, a cooperative formed to promote the interests of abstract painters and to increase understanding between themselves and the public. During this period, Bolotowsky came under the influence of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian ( Piet Mondriaan in Dutch) and the tenets of Neoplasticism, a movement that advocated the possibility of ideal order in the visual arts. Bolotowsky adopted his mentor's use of horizontal and vertical geometric pattern and a palette restricted to primary colors and neutrals. He taught at Black Mountain College during the period 1946-1948. His mural for the Williamsburg Housing Project, New York, was one of the first abstract murals done under the Federal Art Project. Despite Bolotowsky's clear, precise control of his images, he emphasized the role of intuition over formula in determining his compositions. In the 1960s, he began making three-dimensional forms, usually vertical and straight sided. Also, in the 1960s he taught humaities and fine arts at the Southampton, NY campus of Long Island University.
