It's clear you didn't read the article and don't know anything of Klint's work. I've seen her and Kandinsky's work, if anything Kandinsky is derivative of Klint, who developed her abstract style a full 5 years before him. Both are wonderful artists, and she is "rediscovered" because she had been written out of art history books. She is now recognized as a contemporary of Kandinsky who influenced _him_. Here's an excerpt from the article, "She developed a vocabulary of triangles, squares, circles and spirals before Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich declared themselves the inventors of abstraction. While Kandinsky claimed to have created the first abstract painting in 1911, Af Klint had in fact beaten him to it in 1906"
