    Loved this episode - probably because I’ve read so much about Klimt and because I currently live in Vienna. His paintings are pretty awesome.

    This doco was wonderfully made. Really enjoyed it thank you. Love Klimit's work. The fact he could paint such realistic and unrealistic works is amazing. Always a fan. His bohemian personality only adds interest to the man and his work and life. 🎨

    I've always love to visit the best galleries with the finest paintings. We can admire Gustav Klimt's work but I do find that (hand on heart) having seen the original ' Metamorphosis of Narcissus ' by Salvador Dalis that one can only appreciate the beauty of the original work up close & personal, how the artist intended.

    My favorite Klimt painting is called Danae far more suggestive and filled with primordial feelings than any portrait he painted.

    Thanks so much for this video! I love Klimt's art! I wonder if they will ever find Adele's famous choker necklace that she wore for her portrait.

    Adele's niece was lucky enough to escape when she did with her husband. However, when her sister died in Los Angeles, California in 1998 she discovered the letters that her late sister kept from her lawyer in Vienna, Austria, and became aware of changes in Restitution Laws in Austria in the 90s. Ronald Lauder helped set up the Neue Gallery in New York City, it's been known that Frau Altmann and Ronald Lauder during the legal proceedings when he was in California

    That's not a photo of Luise Bloch Bauer at 19:16 in documentary. It is Margarethe Constance Gutmann (née) Lieser on her wedding day to Henrik Guttman. She was painted by Klimt in 1917. Location of painting currently unknown.

    The paintings of Adele are magic, how did he do such seamless mosaics?

    The movie Woman In Gold with Ryan Reynolds and Helem Mirren is a great movie and a great watch about what Maria Bloch Bauer went through to get her Aunt's portrait back from Austria.

    • @ubergeraldine
      @ubergeraldine 9 месяцев назад +1

      Maria Bloch Bauer was not a pleasant woman. Her aunt wished the portrait to remain in Austria for the Austrian people to enjoy - Klimt's work was rooted in Austria. She promptly sold to the EstéeLauder family for a fortune.

    He is my favorite artist.. One thing that I never understood. He was such a recluse. How did he meet all of these woman?

      No offense intended, but Klimt was not a recluse. He worked and kept regular hours, but had an active social life, many friends, went to the theatre and opera, hung out at a favorite coffee house, and took regular vacations with Emilie Flöge and her family.
      Best wishes from Vermont 🍁

    Wasn't that the same university that also inadvertently ended up causing mass atrocities across Europe all simply because they refused a budding art student a place?

  • @ubergeraldine
    @ubergeraldine 9 месяцев назад

    Appear to be conflicts between his will and her wishes??? That's an understatement! He left the paintings to her and she wiped them to remain in Vienna as she loved Austria but recently, very distant members of the family in America managed to exploit the fact Austrian law at the time forbade women to inherit property automatically. Hence they used spurious love of their family and art claims and fought to bring the lot out of Austria whereupon it was sold to Esteé Lauder's son for a massive fee. Klimt may have been Jewish but his paintings are absolutely rooted in Austria. If you ever walked the alps in spring you'd know why. And if he did indeed father 14 children - surely their claims are also valid and more so than the niece of the model? The greedy avaricious woman showed no respect to the artist. The model and ownership of the work are incidental compared to his talent.

    Klimt was the best. The fact that people would go crazy over a portrait he made, says everything.
    Portraits are art junk.

    Maybe he'd schizo disorder. That's why he was isolated. I guess people assume like everyone should be the same. Or he just introverted!

    too bad she had to sell everything she fought for in the end to pay off her lawyer's fees.
