The golden art of Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt's portraits, both romantic and erotic, captured the golden age of Vienna at the turn of the century. A notorious ladies man, Klimt was obsessed with women - pale beauties dressed in extravagant gowns, or nothing at all. Morley Safer takes in the first major Klimt retrospective in this country, at New York's Neue Galerie. (Originally aired March 9, 2008.)

Morley's voice is totally burned out from decades of cigarette smoking and his throat is coated in thick mucous

A father of more than a dozen children, do I hear it right?

[@toddaulner5393]

I am trying to use gold leaf foil in my current painting. It is coming along pretty well. I am not quite at his level otherwise i would have used real gold.

Hate the guy speaking

[@kirschrot77]

+ I agree he is horrible

[@gmaddocks]

The "guy speaking" is Morley Safer who was a well known, award-winning journalist. He was one of the last true journalists; not like the ill-educated, agenda-driven "reporters" of today. His awards... 12-time Emmy Award winner 3-time Overseas Press Award winner 3-time George Foster Peabody Award winner 2-time Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Award winner Winner of the Paul White Award from the Radio-Television News Directors Association (1966) Recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Emmy from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (2003) Received the 2003 George Polk Memorial Career Achievement Award from Long Island University Received the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards' first prize for domestic television for his insightful report about a controversial school, "School for the Homeless" Named a Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government in 1995 Received Brown University's Welles Hangen Award for Superior Achievement in Journalism (1993) Recipient of The International Center in New York's Award of Excellence
