The Dove - No 13. - Hilma de Klint
The evocative title directs its reading, by meticulous composition, on the two-coloured circle in which is outlined, in the second loop, a pure heart carrying the Holy Spirit by excellence. The heart is also the outline of a folded dove, symbolising love and fidelity tenfold. This association is by no means fortuitous, representing one of the rare birds to remain monogamous throughout its existence. The whole is underlined by a multitude of tones that express the variation of emotions and feelings.
The divinatory abilities, knowledge and noble origin of the animal are born from the chromatic prism coiled in the lower arch of the circle. The entire spiritual ornamentation is based on a tricolour arrangement in the background: verticals for red and violet and horizontals for black, the synthesis of which would elaborate a new man through the accompaniment of the Holy Spirit towards his new spiritual form.
