本物の金箔がキラキラとかがやく絵。グスタフ・クリムトは、19世紀の終わりから20世紀のはじめのウィーンで、それまでだれも見たことのない、豪華で不思議な絵を描きました。金の彫刻師の父をもち、工芸の学校で学んだクリムトの絵は、絵画と装飾の境目をこえていきます。
Paintings that sparkle with real gold leaf. In Vienna around 1900, Gustav Klimt created rich, mysterious pictures that no one had seen before. His father was a gold engraver, and Klimt trained at a school of applied arts. His work crossed the line between painting and decoration.
古い美術界にさよならして仲間と「ウィーン分離派」をつくり、批判されても自分の道を進んだクリムト。イタリアの金のモザイクに感動して生まれた「黄金の時代」、日本の美術からのヒント、戦争で燃えてしまった大作、そしてナチスに奪われ、70年近くたって家族のもとにもどった肖像画まで。金色の世界へようこそ!
Klimt said goodbye to the old art world, founded the Vienna Secession with his friends and followed his own path despite criticism. We will see his Golden Period, inspired by gold mosaics in Italy, his ideas from Japanese art, great paintings lost in a fire during the war, and a portrait taken by the Nazis that went home after nearly 70 years. Welcome to the golden world!
