[Full] of quiet delights, puzzling codes and a background hum of spiritual intensity.--Ariella Budick ""The Financial Times"" [These] drawings are now on view for the first time, shedding light on af Klint's thought process.--Elena Clavarino ""Air Mail"" Ebullient, rigorous and boastfully esoteric, these 'Nature Studies, ' as she called them, reveal the didactic side of a pioneer in nonliteral art. This is an economical show of some beautiful field exercises, and it suggests the spiritual extremes to which the honorable but often tedious tradition of botanical illustration might be taken.--Walker Mimms ""The New York Times"" For those who count themselves among the artist's followers and fans, the freshly opened 'Hilma af Klint: What Stands Behind the Flowers' at MoMA offers an incisive look at the artist's botanical work that also provides insight into her spiritual and artistic evolution.--Annika Olsen ""Artnet"" In [this exhibition], one can see [Hilma af Klint's] approach to abstraction through more traditional means, as depictions of plants are juxtaposed by abstract diagrams.--Francesca Aton ""ArtNews""
