The Ten Largest No. 3 | Hilma af Klint Postcard

Group IV, No. 3. The Ten Largest, Youth (1907) is another striking piece from Hilma af Klint’s The Ten Largest series, in which she explored the themes of human development and spiritual transformation. In Youth, af Klint utilizes bold geometric shapes, vibrant colours, and fluid forms to represent the energy, vitality, and potential of youth. The abstract composition expresses the dynamic nature of this life stage, filled with both vigour and the unknown. As with many of her works, the painting also reflects her spiritual and mystical beliefs, portraying youth as a time of inner development and connection with universal forces. The swirling, organic patterns and symbolic shapes invite the viewer into a transcendental experience, representing both the outward vitality of youth and the inner spiritual journey that accompanies it.
