About the book >.>.> The exhibition World Receivers. Georgiana Houghton- Hilma af Klint-Emma Kunz provides insight into an extraordinary and largely unknown episode of the modern era: Georgiana Houghton in England Hilma af Klint in Sweden and Emma Kunz in Switzerland each developed her own abstract visual language highly charged with meaning. They followed their convictions with persever- ance and assertiveness; with their works all three strove to visualize laws of nature the spiritual and the super- natural. For the first time ever we are presenting their seldom shown works together at the Lenbachhaus’s Kunstbau. In addition little-known films by Harry Smith and the brothers James and John Whitney are also being pre- sented. Beginning in the 1940s these Americans devel- oped experimental methods to depict abstract imagery in the medium of film. They too were strongly guided by spiritual interests that had become widespread within the American counterculture of the mid-twentieth century (MP)
