(10/10) It was a claim about what lasts. Turns out he was right. Full essay on Klimt in this week's Ariadne's Thread. Link in bio. x.com/TheArtThread/s…
In 1894, the University of Vienna commissioned Klimt to paint their ceiling. Philosophy. Medicine. Jurisprudence. They expected allegories of reason and progress. He delivered three visions of human helplessness. 87 professors signed a petition against displaying them. 🧵👇

(9/10) The ceiling paintings burned. The gold portrait survived. The work Klimt made for institutions is gone. The work he made on his own terms is in museums.

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer by Gustav Klimt

In 1606, Rome's most famous artist killed a man in a street fight that may have started over a tennis score. He fled that same night. Capital sentence. Never came back. He was 34. 12 paintings left in him. All of them are masterpieces. Thread🧵(1/n)
Gustav Klimt
Stay tuned for more on Klimt. Full stories: link in bio. Thnks! x.com/TheArtThread/s…
Caravaggio and Klimt. Opposites? Master of shadows. Master of gold. Yet, they share the exact same scar: rejection by the old guard and a 1945 fire. The strange story that connects darkness and gold🧵 (1/5)
(5/5) Different centuries. Different reasons. Neither Caravaggio nor Klimt watered down their vision to please the "old guard." They chose the fire over the compromise. We don't remember the artists who said "yes". We remember those who said "no." History rewards the rebels.
