The resulting 46 sheets comprise her \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNature Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e portfolio, recently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, New York. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn pencil and jewel-toned watercolor, af Klint juxtaposed exquisitely rendered blossoms with enigmatic diagrams: a blooming sunflower is echoed by nested circles; lily of the valley is joined by a colorful checkerboard; catsfoot is set against a pair of mirrored spirals.
