Unabridged Audiobook
Julia Voss skillfully weaves an extremely detailed tapestry stretching from the regional, historical, and artistic contexts predating Af Klints birth by centuries, to the evolution of her legacy in the modern day. This is without a doubt one of the most thoroughly researched biographies I have ever read, owing in no small part to the sheer amount of documents and artworks of Af Klint's that survives to the modern day. Voss does right by Af Klints indelible legacy with a book that analyzes the full breadth of her complex personal relationships, avant-garde views on gender and sexuality, her spirituality, and above all her expansive body of work. Voss disseminates fact after fact to make for a biography that is extremely dense while interweaving contemporary and modern analyses as well as historical context that will no doubt illuminate for the mainstream public many previously unexplored areas of her work and life and in turn, affect deeply for the better, the legacy of the artist herself. This is THE definitive biography on Hilma Af Klint, and I have no doubt it will remain that way for years to come. Doria Bramantes gentle and focused narration brings further to life the book and the stories therein.
Wonderful story. Fabulous narrator.
