We haven't gotten to Vienna yet, but I already know where my interest lie.
The work of this man:
Gustav Klimt.
Now, last summer I only began to taste the power and abstract flavors of his paintings. I saw 'The Kiss' at Belvedere, and bought a gallery guide so as to carry his and other artists' work with me when I returned to America . Now, we're studying him as a major character during Fin-de-siecle Vienna. I think I could dig up some good information/fuse some good arguments about him. He had an interesting peprsonality, as I understand it. And I feel like I can relate to his rate of artistic growth...or something like that.
We're sitting through our final day of America-based classes in Caffe Amadeus on Philadelphia Street in Indiana. Had an espresso-based beverage; now I'm jacked. I just wanted to record a thought or two for today. I'm heading home after class to back and say hello and goodbye to friends and family.
Bis spaeter!
