Gustav Klimt. By any chance, has it ever occurred to you that Gustav Klimt might be your next artist? He's a Hungarian designer/practitioner who has created some of the most beautiful works in contemporary art. The man is at least as comfortable working with water as he is with paint. If his pieces were displayed in a museum, I'm certain the word “fountain” would be enough to distract visitors from his actual work. He draws inspiration from natural forms like falling leaves and branches, falling snowflakes and the bounding rush of waterfalls.
Most of his paintings happen to show water or the elements. They're bold, striking works that leave you asking “what was that?” After viewing his work, I'm certain to think that if he could see himself seated in front of a gallery wall, he'd make some dramatic changes. It takes an artistic vision to sit and paint for hours on end, yet these paintings come alive with vitality and emotion.
While he's not yet the leading contemporary artist, my vote goes to him and his solo exhibition “My Repose.” He exhibits a mature style that doesn't try to copy previous art styles or trends. Instead, he embraces the uniqueness of his style. His pictures look straight out of an art museum, and that's why they're so impressive.

Gustav Klimt: Medizin
|
As with many artists, Gustaf Klimt has a favorite subject. This time, his favorite animal is a swan. This giant bird grabs the viewer by the throat and never lets go. The painting represents a struggle between the strong, mighty swan and the weak, tiny duck. It's an excellent example of detailed and intricate brushwork.
Of all the subjects that Gustaf Klimt has created, I feel that his best is his water element pictures. In particular, I really like the image of a floating woman in a small pond. This woman is being drawn by the gentle movement of the water, while at the same time the water is hypnotizing. As the woman is being drawn by the movement of the water, so is the viewer.
Gustaf Klimt's photos of water are breathtaking. I especially appreciate how he seems to know when to blend the water and foreground. He knows when to use just the right amount of light, and when to darken the background. In this article, I want to focus more on his use of shadow, because this is where his photography truly excels.
In this photo, we can see both the beauty of the water and the intensity of the shadow. In the photo, Gustaf Klimt also has added a touch of humor to his work. The pond is full of ducks, but in this photo, there are a couple of fishermen looking over the pond with a pole in the background. Gustaf has mastered the use of the shadow. He has added depth with the fish and now he has added comedy with his smiley couple.
This is just one of many examples of his amazing talent as an artist. While many of his other works are amazing, this photo is something that we can all relate to, and it just makes us feel good to look at. This is just one of the masterpieces of work that Gustaf Klimt has produced. We often forget the work of other artists, and just focus on their paintings, sculptures, or photography. This is not the case with Gustaf Klimt. His work is important, and if you ever find your copy of his work, or even own some of his pieces, then you will understand what I am talking about.
