Wow. What an incredible work. Klimt's use of allegory is unsurpassed. How incredibly gorgeous. Klimt is the only visual artist that makes me emotional in the same way a great piece of live classical music can do. Thank you, Smarthistory, for making such beautiful things available to people who will never see them in person. Your channel should be the hottest thing on TH-cam.
I love the idea of "Gesamtkunstwerk" and would love to see a fully-realized version of this. Klimt's university fresco was also a sight to behold. I would've loved to hear more about lasciviousness, wantonness, and intemperance - it seems people agree since that's "most replayed." Love the final section of fulfillment. I'm looking forward to joining that symphony. 🙂
I just got to see the Ode to Joy section of the Frieze at the Legion of Honor Klimt exhibit. It is breathtaking. This video filled in the missing gaps of explanation. Thank you.
Discovering this exists now made it feel more significant. The cultural attitudes feel the same as they are now. We're all begging for strong leadership and drinking it in as much as we can, no matter how problematic those leaders can be. Everything I cared about two months ago has been put on a back burner until I know we can survive this. It speaks very deeply to how intensely I'm missing the unification of the arts and how divine it will feel when I can experience beauty in the company of others. I want to be on that last wall; Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! But we have so much to get through before we can get to that point and it seems insurmountable. Everything feels so unprecedented. But seeing a journey of triumph through adversity, enshrined 120 years ago, makes me feel like it's been done before. Threats loom large but give birth to a grief that is beautiful in its universality but so easily buried because she is alone, and coping with a thin defense. Hope is frail but she makes it through. In victory, there are kisses and embraces and satisfied longing.
It is interesting how female figures' bodies being clothed/draped or naked, and the length, wildness, wantonness of their hair changes with Klimt's moral perspective towards what the figures symbolise.
Handsome, gorgeous Gustave Klimt, must have dreamt the women who were is lovers, and he fathered a few children what were those dreams composed of? mythology and passion Beautiful young women who saw in Klimt a man of remarkable talent. His dreams were Freudian? Love slipping away, and another love in her place, his dreams were his libido? And his paintings a story of human passions and needs, hope, loss, joy and grandeur in his hand gold in his paint brush strokes???

I learned a lot and also fascinated .
So you could say klimt actually made the worlds first music video ever, and did that using paint only !
