Gustav Klimt
Death and Life

In Death and Life, Death is not understood as an event that a ects the individual, but appears as an allegorical grim reaper figure who looks at Life with a sneering grin. This Life encompasses all generations – from infant to grandmother, all ages are represented, symbolizing the unending cycle of life. While Death can take life from individuals, he has nothing on Life itself, humanity as a whole.

Farm Garden with Sunflowers

Klimt painted this picture in the garden of Villa Oleander, in the village of Kammer on Lake Atter. One of several landscapes completed during his Kammer period, it has an independent character that is strongly shaped by the region.

Gustav Klimt
Beethoven Frieze, (panel 8, right-side wall)

Klimt created one of his best-known works, the Beethoven Frieze, for a 1902 Secessionist exhibition. The show, a homage to Ludwig van Beethoven, was introduced by Klimt’s monumental frieze which greeted visitors in the entrance hall. In this lavish 34-meter wide, two-meter high ornamental symphony, Klimt pays tribute to Beethoven’s Ninth, basing his work on Richard Wagner’s interpretation of the piece. The section of the Beethoven Frieze shown here depicts The Arts, a Choir of Angels in Paradise and an Embrace.

Gustav Klimt
Nuda Vertias

Nuda Veritas thematizes the truthfulness of art. A tug-of-war between impudence and nakedness, and self-confident confrontation and unprotected vulnerability, it has come to symbolize artistic identity.
