Gustav Klimt BiographyAustria Famous Artist the painting of the Austrian painter and illustrator Gustav Klimt, b. July 14, 1862, d. Feb. 6, 1918, founder of the school of painting known as the Vienna Sezession, embodies the high-keyed erotic, psychological, and aesthetic preoccupations of turn-of-the-century Vienna's dazzling intellectual world. |
|
Klimt has been called the
preeminent exponent of ART NOUVEAU. He
began (1883) as an artist-decorator in
association with his brother and Franz Matsoh. In 1886-92, Gustav Klimt executed mural
decorations for staircases at the
Burgtheater and the Kunsthistorisches Museum
in Vienna; these confirmed his
eclecticism and broadened his range of
historical references. Klimt was a cofounder
and the first president of the Vienna
Secession, a group of modernist architects
and artists who organized their own
exhibition society and gave rise to the
SECESSION MOVEMENT, or the Viennese version
of Art Nouveau. Gustav Klimt was also a frequent
contributor to Ver Sacrum, the group's
journal. |

Klimt paintings: The Beethoven
Frieze 1902; Secession Building, Vienna Detail from the first wall of the frieze depicting man's search of happiness. This section shows a naked man and woman praying for the knight (modelled on Gustav Mahler) who will set out in search of happiness. Behind the man and woman is a second woman who gazes on in contemplation. Above the knight other woman give the knight a laurel crown. The primal forces of sexuality, regeneration, love, and death form the dominant themes of Klimt paintings. His art of femmes fatales, such as Judith I (1901; Osterreichische Galerie, Vienna), personify the dark side of sexual attraction. |

Klimt painting The Kiss
(1907-08; Osterreichische Galerie)
celebrates the attraction of the sexes; and
Hope I (1903; National Gallery, Ottawa)
juxtaposes the promise of new life with the
destroying force of death. The sensualism
and originality of his art led to a hostile reaction to his three ceiling
murals--Philosophy (1900), Medicine (1901), and Jurisprudence (1902)--for the
University of Vienna. - We supplies Gustav Klimt biography and Austria oil
