moreMid Century Modern Gustav Klimt Female Water Serpent Print, Lesbian Symbolism Print, Nude Intwined Females in the beauty that is Klimt's Art.
Mid Century Print, Framed in Istanbul, Turkey, professionally framed and matted.
Print Title : Water Serpents I // Wasserschlangen I
Artist : Gustav Klimt
Frame Measures :
Height: 25 1/2 inches
Width: 35 1/2 inches
Depth: 1 1/8 inches
Condition : because of the way this is framed, I cannot view the print itself, it could be a gallery style print, from an art exhibit, or lithograph reproduction print. based on the framing and stamp on rear of print, puts this at 1970s I believe. Framed with non-glare glass, green mat - and appears the original frame was gold gilt, and it has been painted over with Grey Paint. (why???!!!!) Few spots where grey is chipping - looks like it wouldn't take that much to actually remove the paint and have the original frame shine thru.
INFORMATION on Klimt's Water Serpents :
Wasserschlangen marks a climax within Klimt's oeuvre. Involvement with underwater beings was for the Symbolists a way to articulate the unexploited transcendental universes to humans. Additionally it provided the possibility to show the feminine body in an erotic context without fearing censorship.
Water Serpents I is not an oil painting, and its pale, unusual colouring is in part dictated by the medium used. It does not differ much from the preliminary drawings that Klimt used for reference, apart from the addition of the gold paint, and the green and gold-leaf thread entangled around the women's bodies. The unambiguously lesbian embrace of his models would perhaps have been unacceptable had it been presented as a straight portrait. However, by renaming the work and giving it an allegorical theme and by adding the fish-like serpent behind the bodies and adorning every surface with gold and pattern, Klimt was able to show the painting to Vienna without fear of censorship.
Water Serpents by Gustav Klimt is sometimes mistakenly termed "Water Snakes"or "Sea Serpents". Water Serpents I & II both feature attractive and highly detailed depictions of women which was the hallmark of this great Austrian artist.
The popularity of both Water Serpents paintings is due to the great detail and colour that he put into both and the flattering and feminine finish to each portrait. Their is a mystical and charming set of imagery within both paintings and the great level of detail means they hold longevity too. Typically for his portrait works, Klimt would produce many high level pencil sketches in preparation for them and these are valuable pieces of art work in their own right in the modern era, with his drawing talents equally respected. less
