**Gustav Klimt (1862-1918): The Alchemist of Sensuality and Spirit
Born in Vienna, Austria, Klimt lived during a time of social upheaval, shifting from the classical world to the modern age. His art stood at the frontier between myth and modernity, mixing eroticism, mysticism, and symbolism.
*He’s best remembered for:
The Kiss – two lovers wrapped in golden patterns, timeless and universal.
Danaë - a woman in divine ecstasy, immersed in golden rain (from Greek myth).
Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I -sometimes called The Lady in Gold.
Klimt saw the female form as both sacred and sensual - never separate. To him, a woman was not a muse or model, but a universe of divine power.
He painted:
Gold-leafed bodies floating in patterns
Women wrapped in geometry and symbolism
Desire, fertility, magic, and mystery - all in one form
> He said: "All art is erotic." But to him, **erotic did not mean objectifying - it meant powerful, divine, and alive.
