The Dove- Hilma Af Klint (MoMa)

Klint painted this painting between 1914-1915. I chose this piece from the MoMa because it was different than many of the others. I loved the other paintings but this one stuck out. The way the shapes flow into each other is mesmerizing. At first glance, it's complimentary colors around a heart. All connected in loops, like it's never ending. Then all the colors at the bottom aren't just complimentary colors, it's all of them. All the colors flow into one another, never ending, making a beautiful masterpiece. The technique of painting the dark colors, and light ones, and how some colors overlap one another is beautiful.
