One cannot understand the bursting onto the art scene of something as radical as the Secessionist movement(s), without some careful analysis. <br /><br />I will go to the exhibition with the students later in the winter semester, but I would like them to read Peter Vergo's book, Vienna 1900 before hand.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-84269013758654487252011-06-11T17:31:10.251+10:002011-06-11T17:31:10.251+10:00Hermes

Klimt finished the Beethoven Frieze around three of the walls of the Secession Building in 1902. And Klimt began designing fabrics for his beloved Emilie Floge, who owned a successful fashion-house in Vienna. He held a large solo exhibition and showed "Portrait of Emilie Floge" 1902 in that much loved Klimt style: a woman in a simple space, wearing totally stunning, intricate clothes. *sigh*<br /><br />But it is a big leap to Schiele.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-3780999609589647912011-06-11T16:47:23.182+10:002011-06-11T16:47:23.182+10:00Hello Helen:
