Description
A Morning by the Pond by : Gustav Klimit (1899, oil on canvas, 75.1X75.1 cm, currently in the Leopold Museum, Vienna)." The sinuous quality of his brushstroke describes their tall stems and whipping foliage, and the lightness of the stroke suggests a breeze stirring the surrounding leaves and reeds.
The surface of the lake echoes nature's constant reinvention. Tender and touched by a gentle breeze, the reflections of the trees and sky become indistinct, only to solidify again elsewhere. See more
The surface of the lake echoes a nature in perpetual reinvention.
Klimt's travels to the Salzkammergut and Salzburg region in the late 1890s marked the beginning of an intensive rediscovery of the landscape genre.
About Gustav Klimt
Coming from a modest family, his father being a gilder, Gustav Klimt entered the Vienna School of Applied Arts in 1876. He continued his studies there until 1883. In 1879, he participated in the organisation of the Festzug (silver wedding of the imperial couple) under the direction of Hans Makart.
In 1883 he founded a decoration workshop with his brother Ernst Klimt and his fellow student Franz Matsch. See more
He decorated the ceilings of the Fiume Theatre in 1883, the Villa Hermes in Lainz, the Carlsbad Theatre in 1886 and the Burgtheater staircase from 1886 to 1888.
In 1900, Klimt's fresco entitled "Philosophy", considered an outrage to public morality, caused a scandal.
Gustav Klimt exhibited the fresco "Medicine" in 1901, which prompted an appeal from his patron in the Chamber of Deputies, Minister of Education von Harten.
This was followed by the culmination of the paintings on a golden background with "Danaë" and "The Kiss", two works presented at the Kunstschau, the first group exhibition by Klimt and his friends since the withdrawal of the Secession.
In 1911, Klimt travels to Rome, Brussels, London and Madrid.
Klimt died in Vienna on February 6, 1918 of a stroke, leaving many paintings unfinished.
"There is no self-portrait of me. I am not interested in my own person as an "object of representation", but in other beings, especially women, and even more so in apparitions". Gustav Klimt.
