(Text)
Gustav Klimt's Beethoven Frieze (1902) is the supreme monument of Viennese Modernism-a work as significant and revolutionary as Picasso's Demoiselles, Matisse's Dance, and Duchamps's Readymades. Is it is among the most visited tourist destinations in Vienna. In his largest and most ambitious work, Klimt launched his famous motif of the Kiss and his signature color: gold. Four interdisciplinary essays by renowned scholars explore the enduring relevance and cultural-historical context of Klimt's large-scale wall cycle, as well as its conservation and history. This new publication will be the definitive book on Klimt's Beethoven Frieze.
(Author portrait)
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), eine der bedeutendsten Künstlerpersönlichkeiten seiner Epoche und gefeierter und umstrittener Pionier der Wiener Moderne um 1900, rückte wie kein zweiter Maler die Darstellung des Weiblichen in den Mittelpunkt seines Schaffens. Frauen inspirierten ihn zu kühnen Bildschöpfungen, die zu den Glanzstücken der Jugendstil-Kunst zählen. Klimt beschwor ein neues Frauenbild, das den Zeitgeist des Fin de Siècle atmete und den Aufbruch in das 20. Jahrhundert markierte. So erschuf er mythische Heldinnen, elegante Porträts von Damen der feinen Wiener Gesellschaft und erotische Zeichnungen nach jungen Aktmodellen voller Sinnlichkeit und Ekstase.
