This exhibition book explores the visionary worlds of Swedish painter Hilma af Klint and Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. Forms of Life shares the desire that both artists had to explore the forces behind life on Earth. The book features Piet Mondrian's famous abstract works, his lesser-known floral paintings, and Hilma af Klint's enigmatic creations, where natural forms transition to abstraction.
The book's design enhances the reader's experience with the artwork of both artists on the front and back covers. Inside, the layout is simple, using contemporary typefaces that add warmth and dynamism. Bold colours divide the book's chapters, while full-page and grid-arranged gallery sections compare the two artists. Even though they never met, both developed unique art languages, and this approach emphasises how Klint and Mondrian influenced each other and explored similar themes in their art.
