    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Bereits vor Kandinsky entstehen abstrakte Gemälde. Völlig unabhängig voneinander entwickeln Georgiana Houghton (1814-1884) in England, Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) in Schweden und Emma Kunz (1892-1963) in der Schweiz eine jeweils eigene abstrakte Bildsprache. Gemeinsam ist ihnen der Wunsch, Naturgesetze, Geistiges und Übersinnliches sichtbar zu machen. Erstmals werden ihre Werke in der Ausstellung gemeinsam präsentiert.

    Long description:

    Abstract paintings were being produced even before Kandinsky. Completely independently from each other, Georgiana Houghton (1814 1884) in England, Hilma af Klint (1862 1944) in Sweden and Emma Kunz (1892 1963) in Switzerland each developed an individual abstract pictorial language. What they had in common was a desire to make visible the laws of nature, the intellect and the supernatural. Their works are being presented side by side for the first time in an exhibition.

    The three women artists all found their artistic language within the context of the spiritual movements of their times: Houghton in spiritism, af Klint in theosophy and Kunz in naturopathy. Their artworks bear witness to a mediumistic praxis: Houghton and af Klint were inspired by higher beings to paint, while Kunz developed her drawings with the help of a pendulum.
