Old Age, No. 10 by Hilma af Klint Canvas Print

Old Age, No. 10 by Hilma af Klint Canvas PrintEven the plaster in here starts looking expensive next to soft pink. Hilma af Klint's Old Age, No. 10 from 1907 is gentle, geometric and quietly strange four colour blocks held inside a halo of looping line work. Hung up, it does the thing pink rarely does: it warms the room without making it sweet. The mustard, dusty blue and deep red give it backbone, so the wall feels considered rather than nursery soft. It suits bedrooms, studies and reading

more feeling than anatomy

or a quieter wall in a living room that needs lifting

deep navy shadows and that single red block do most of the work — they pull the eye up and hold it

A pastel hill landscape with a tiny seated figure

strawberry on the side

or a snack bar

ideally at eye level on its own wall

and the familiar Kew Gardens type at the foot — it's a calm London piece with a bit of weight to it

hot pink and orange buildings

striped cottons and warm cream walls

an entryway that feels a bit bare

off-white linen and a stoneware lamp base
