Swedish Ecstasy: The Art of Hilma af Klint and Her Circle explores the remarkable works of one of Sweden's most esteemed artists, Hilma af Klint, alongside her artistic circle, and delves into the profound influence they had on contemporary artists working today.

In the early 20th century, a wave of mysticism and esoteric speculation permeated the works of some of Sweden's most prominent artistic and literary figures. This book delves into these visionary experiences and their profound meanings within the intellectual and spiritual milieu of that time. Contemporary artists Cecilia Edefalk, Carsten Höller, Christine Ödlund, Daniel Youssef, and Lars Olof Loeld contribute insightful essays that showcase how these artworks continue to inspire and resonate with artists today.

Through meticulous research and analysis, Swedish Ecstasy offers a captivating journey into the world of Hilma af Klint and her artistic circle, providing a deeper understanding of their contributions to art history and their lasting impact on the creative community. This book serves as a valuable resource for art enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone seeking to explore the rich tapestry of spiritual and artistic expression in Sweden during the early 20th century.
