We are marking a pause in the series Parsifal as we are about to enter the last sub-series of the 144 paintings. An obvious association regarding Parsifal is the opera by Richard Wagner (1813-1883) with the same name. >>🧵

Nu går solen knappast ner, bländar bara av sitt sken. Skymningsbård blir gryningstimme varken tidig eller sen. Juni natt blir aldrig av, liknar mest en daggig dag. Slöjlikt lyfter sig dess skymning och bärs bort på ljusa hav. Harry Martinsson 1953 📷 Hilma af Klints ateljé Adelsö 7 juni 2025 kl 22.50

When the Guggenheim introduced Hilma af Klint to New York in a blazing 2018-19 retrospective, it scooped sublime canvases out of obscurity and laid them out like freshly polished gems. They were big, abstract and geometrical, yet they also celebrated recognisable organic forms.
