Romancing the Canvas with Gustav Klimt
July 15, 2012 § Leave a Comment
Happy Birthday Gustav Klimt! With nearly a century between the legendary artist and contemporary ideals of romance reforming to new acceptable heights of online dating, social networking and friending there is something to be said that society on a whole still perceives, relates and loves the work Gustav Klimt. How could one not enjoy the beauty of his work? Something about the languid body postures, relaxed femininity oozing out of each muse embodies the ideals and enjoyment of being a woman. All the beautiful colors and textures in each painting reveals the all encompassing sensory experience and ambience that a woman can have or all the sensual experiences we take in every time we are in the embrace of the one’s we love.
Klimt captures the naturally rich opulence that radiates from the female essence. What his eye seems to notice and his art seem to pronounce is the details, all the little details that goes into celebrating the female spirit. It is truly all those small details like the smell of her favorite fragence, the way she does her hair, the sexpot look of smudgy eye make-up, bed head hair and the most effortless way that fabrics drape around the shilouette of a woman are the very images and instances that captivates audiences, silences a room and inspires the writer, artist and musician to devote hours to recapturing the feeling they have felt and sights they have witnessed.
