Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) is now regarded as a pioneer of abstract art. Though her paintings were not seen publicly until 1987, her work from the early 20th century predates the first purely abstract paintings by Kandinsky, Mondrian and Malevich. Philipp Deines is an artist, illustrator, and graphic designer. In 2015 he published Behind the White Cube (Merve Verlag) with Julia Voss. In 2020 he received the Berlin Comic Scholarship and his work was exhibited in the Museum for Communication. In 2021, his work was exhibited at Grisebach in Berlin in the exhibition Stu-stu-stu-studioline. The 5 Lives of Hilma Af Klint (2022) is his first graphic novel. He lives and works in Berlin. Julia Voss is a curator, art critic, and professor. Her biography of Hilma af Klint was on the shortlist of the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in 2020 and became a bestseller. She headed the Visual Arts Department of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for ten years and has been teaching art history as an honorary professor at Leuphana University in Lüneburg since 2015. She lives in Berlin with her husband Philipp Deines and two children.
