Though Wassily Kandinsky has been known as the father of abstraction, Hilma af Klint's work actually predates his by several years according to experts. Curators of modern art have likened her work to the painter Georgia O'Keefe, as af Klint's has been similarly overlooked historically. Despite the absence of historical scholarly attention to women abstractionists, their works enriched the development of the modernist movement of the 20th century through unique viewpoints.

Original draft:

Hilma af Klint was actually the first abstract artist, Wassily Kandinsky has been known as the father of abstraction, but af Klint's work actually predates his by several years. Another well-known now but under credited in the past female artist is Georgia O'Keefe. O'Keefe's work, much like that of af Klint's, was overlooked. It is important to celebrate and pay respect to female abstract artists for their enrichment to modernism, creativity and different viewpoint, and new histories that have been made in the 20th century.
