Gustav Klimt, 1912

"No part of life is so small and insignificant that it does not offer space for artistic aspirations.”

"Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I" by Gustav Klimt (Austrian) – Oil, gold, and silver on canvas / 1907 – Neue Galerie New York #WomenInArt #GustavKlimt #Klimt #art #artText #artwork #AustrianArtist #PortraitofaWoman #NeueGalerieNewYork #NeueGalerie #gold #fin-de-siècle #ViennaSecession #ArtNouveau
Austrian artist Gustav Klimt began this portrait in 1903, after seeing the sixth-century mosaics of Ravenna, which he called of “unprecedented splendor.” Their shimmer helped catalyze his Golden Phase, in which paint, silver, and gold leaf fused icon and portrait. The sitter, Adele Bloch-Bauer was a Jewish Viennese patron and salonnière and was the only person Klimt painted twice in full-length portraits, signaling their artistic rapport and the family’s support of the Viennese avant-garde. A luminous, mosaic-like field of gold envelops the pale, oval-faced Adele with cropped dark hair and crimson lips. Centered frontally, she gazes outward, her forearms lifted and hands clasped into an elegant, slightly tense knot at her chest. A flat, patterned sheath and diaphanous golden mantle merge with the background, studded with triangles containing “all-seeing” eye motifs and tiny raised monograms “AB.” A diamond choker hugs her neck; bracelets and rings glint at the wrists and fingers. Around her head, a halo of ornament presses forward; below, a band of black-and-white trim at the lower left hints at the artist’s studio furnishings. Space feels ambiguous as she seems at once seated and standing as spirals, rectangles, and circles ripple across the surface like Byzantine tesserae bits of stone and glass pulsing with light. Commissioned by her husband, industrialist Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, the work originally hung in their Vienna, Austria home. In 1938, the Nazis seized the family’s Klimts; in Vienna the canvas was retitled “Woman in Gold” to obscure Adele’s identity. Decades later, her niece Maria Altmann pursued restitution; following the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision enabling the case and an Austrian arbitration, the painting was returned to the heirs. In 2006, Ronald S. Lauder acquired it for the Neue Galerie in New York, where it has remained on permanent view and is often described as the museum’s “Mona Lisa.”

Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862-1918) • The Maiden • 1913 (see ALT text)
#GustaveKlimt #klimt #artnouveau #art #painting #ArtHistory #ViennaSecession #symbolism #AustrianArtist #EroticismInArt #WomenInPaintings #Art&Beauty
Both during Klimt's lifetime and later, there have always been examples of an eroticizing aim to recreate his art or even go beyond it. Other authors have pointed out that the erotic could be regarded as a socio-political and culturally progressive force. Thus, Klimt is seen as an artist who contributed considerably to the emancipation of women and the rediscovery of the lost power of the erotic element, an artist who was critical of his time and its outmoded cultural morality. "Klimt's permanent achievement," wrote Han Bisanz in 1984, "is that he liberated the artistic depiction of human beings from the fetters of morality and opportunism and that he made visible by means of his style, the basic mental images of man's inner life, images that point to a timeless element in the course of a person's individual destiny. And finally, as the quoted passage seems to indicate, Klimt can be seen as a psychologist, as someone who analyzed psychological phenomena and who pursued similar aims to those of his great contemporary, Sigmund Freud. – gustaveklimt.com
