{"product_id":"83940-gustav-klimt-the-beethoven-frieze","title":"Gustav Klimt: The Beethoven Frieze","description":"Gustav Klimt's Beethoven Frieze (1902) is a masterpiece of Viennese Modernism—as significant and revolutionary as Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and Duchamp's Readymades. Today, the Beethoven Frieze is one of Vienna's most visited tourist attractions. In his most challenging and at the same time most important work, Klimt introduces both his famous Kiss motif and the color most frequently associated with his work: gold. Four interdisciplinary essays by renowned scholars illuminate the enduring relevance and art-historical context of Klimt's large-format mural cycle, as well as its conservation and history. This new publication will be the standard work of our time on Klimt's Beethoven Frieze.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGustav Klimt (1862–1918) is considered one of the most important representatives of Viennese Art Nouveau. He was a co-founder of the Vienna Secession and its first president from 1897 to 1899. He became famous primarily for his ornamental style, characterized by decorative patterns and the use of gold leaf. In addition to the Beethoven Frieze, works such as the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1903–07) and The Kiss (1907–08) are among his best-known paintings.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52302662271240,"sku":"9783775761789","price":36.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775761789_a1e69960-b98b-4010-ba77-4650dcf2f64d.jpg?v=1757834303","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/83940-gustav-klimt-the-beethoven-frieze","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
