Her work is lesser known because it was primarily rooted in very esoteric spirituality. (This is an awesome thing.)
There is primordial chaos to symbolic and esoteric works.
Steiner's work regarding Klint's series, "The Paintings for the Temple,” is oddly reminiscent of the Remedios Varo work, "Embroidering the Earth's Mantle" in which the main triptych is a tapestry of the landscape. (1961)

visiting the 2018 Guggenheim exhibit was a peak art experience for me, so thankful to my girlfriend at the time who insisted we see it!
