Artist: Hilma af Klint Created: 1907 Dimensions (cm): 315 x 235 Format: Tempera on paper mounted on canvas Location: The Hilma af Klint Foundation, Stockholm “No. 7, Adulthood” is part of “The Ten Largest” series of the “Paintings for the Temple”, where each number represents a stage of development in one’s life from childhood to adulthood. Although often perceived as “another” abstract painting, these groundbreaking artworks were developed in the early years of the 20th century, before Kandinsky and Mondrian. This is a composition of swirling shapes, different from any physical reference, portrayed in soft yet bold pastel colors against a lilac background punctuated with lines, that invites you to step in and float away. Believing to be ahead of her time, Klint requested that they'd only be shown in public 20 years after her death. In 1986, 40 years after her death, they were finally presented to the world. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

Artist: Caravaggio Created: 1597 Dimensions (cm): 60 x 55 Format: Oil on canvas mounted on wood Location: Uffizi, Florence Caravaggio is known for his unique fascination with violence and realism. By the time he started achieving success as an artist, he even encountered some run-ins with the law. After visiting Caravaggio's studio and seeing the first version of the Medusa, The Metula painting (smaller than its second and only version), the Medici family’s agent commissioned this piece to symbolise the Grand Duke of Tuscany’s courage. Both pieces were executed in two consecutive years, both portraying Caravaggio as Medusa: a woman with snake hair who turned people to stone by looking at them; with a severed head and shocked eyes she thought of herself as invincible. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

Artist: Wassily Kandinsky Created: 1923 Dimensions (cm): 98.7 x 95.6 Format: Oil on canvas Location: Philadelphia Museum of Art In Circles in a Circle, Kandinsky combines geometric forms and subtle colour harmonies to create a sparkling, abstract composition. Like much of this revolutionary artist's work, the modern feel of the painting makes it hard to believe it was completed as early as 1923. Designed in collaboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In an entry for a 1950 collection catalogue of the Société Anonyme, the artist Marcel Duchamp wrote: “In tracing his lines with ruler and compass, Kandinsky opened to the spectator a new way of looking at painting . . . a clear transfer of thought on canvas. This has been the real contribution of Kandinsky towards a conception of esthetics.” These laudatory words easily apply to Circles in a Circle, in which geometric forms and subtle colour harmonies combine to make an effervescent, abstract composition. Through the Société Anonyme, an art organization led by American collector Katherine Dreier and designed to generate awareness of modern art, Duchamp helped to secure Kandinsky’s first solo exhibition in this country. - Philadelphia Museum of Art 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

Artist: Vincent van Gogh Created: 1889 Dimensions (cm): 65 × 54 Format: Oil on canvas Location: Musée d'Orsay, Paris Painted mere months before his passing, The Self-Portrait (1889) is one of Van Gogh’s most recognizable artworks. Known for his troubled mind and compulsive behavior, the artist produced this artwork in one sitting. Critics tend to look at the wavy themes as proof of a restless soul and uneasy temperament. Obvious references to "Starry Night" can be seen in the coiling and undulating background, the dominant blueish palette, however this time, seemingly proof of a calmer and more peaceful individual. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.
