Art History Series | Through the Eyes of the Artist: Gustav Klimt

[@rlau1568]

Great presentation, engaging speaker.. I was captivated throughout and learned some valuable historical knowledge, in addition. You mentioned the importance to learn about the artist and how it builds understanding. Helping to identify with the artist...to see our shared common threads. ..and ultimately appreciate the art even more. You state, “When we enjoy it, we extend it.” - After watching your full presentation, I couldn’t agree more with your statement here. There is so much depth to his artistry than I could have ever imagined. As a psychotherapist, there was a common thread that I was completely unaware of, (for instance, his ideologies similar to Freudian psychoanalysis and his symbolism used in representing some sort of ‘Good vs Evil’, Additionally, I’m interested in his interpretation of the secret ego in “Nuda Veritas, 1899”. All very fascinating. And my psycho-assessment brain has so many questions. :) Thank you for sharing! I’m now on the hunt for your presentations on other Artists!!

Emilie Flöge was a member of the Viennese bohemian and Fin de siècle circles. She was the life companion of the painter Gustav Klimt. In 1891, Helene, the older sister of Emilie, married Ernst Klimt, the brother of Gustav Klimt. When Ernst died in December 1892, Gustav was made Helene's guardian. After 1891, Klimt portrayed her in many of his works. Experts believe that his painting (1907-08) shows the artist and Emilie Flöge as lovers.

This was a very good lecture! I just have one small quibble. Was it a good idea to call a meeting room, "The Flood Meeting Room"? No doubt it was named after a person called "Flood", but couldn't they have, you know, made it "Bob Flood", or "Betty Flood", because as it is, it sounds like the room has a history of water leaks.

The last line of the video the commentator says, “and the painting was returned”. Returned to whom? To where?

[@desbysean]

Way, WAY too much camera time on the speaker (who the hell cares?!?) and not nearly enough on the art!

American historians at their worst; to personal, too much talk, too many unimportant details, and too little interesting to say about the time and work.....
