Hilma af Klint and Piet Mondrian both started their careers as landscape painters. But in 1906, af Klint brought her work inside, into the basement of her house in Sweden, where she drew strange spiritual symbols that took patterns and geometries from nature. Similarly, Mondrian left landscape painting behind when he moved to Paris in 1911; he instead began searching for a “universal beauty,” a quest that took him through Cubism to pure abstraction. Last April, the Tate Modern put these two pioneers together in a joint exhibition—a first! Now the exhibition moves to the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. —Elena Clavarino
