Abstract

At the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which on this day is a temple, I wander back and forth through rooms full of gloriously confounding art. Eventually I stand before an untitled watercolour. Hilma af Klint painted this selfportrait in 1934, when she was in her early seventies. I see a pale, translucent, ghostly woman. I see what I want to see.
