I’ve read enough publications from Taschen’s art portfolio that I’ve become incredibly sceptical about the authorial quality, but I was happy to not find myself immediately annoyed with this book. It’s much smaller in volume than most of the other art books I’ve read, so the temptation to skip reading in lieu of absorbing strictly the artwork was much lessened and I was determined to read the book cover to cover. I did achieve this goal, but unfortunately found myself frustrated again due to the author’s hyper-focus on the aspects of sexuality that he perceived in Klimt’s work. Obviously there are many aspects of his interpretations that I agree with (for example that Klimt’s women were extremely forward in their aspect for the time period, and the way that he presented nude figures was certainly unique), but his over-use of certain terminology became tedious and at times seemed to imply a sense of disdain for female sexuality and the female form as presented by Klimt. Obviously Néret’s academic subject when it came to art critique was centered around eroticism, but I came into this book expecting an broad (but brief) overview of Klimt’s work not a detailed critique of a singular theme. Taschen may know how to style and print beautiful books, but the recurrent theme of inadequate authors seriously gets on my nerves. ( ) Dit boekje over Klimt is het eerste deeltje uit de serie "Moderne meesters" die de Volkskrant in samenwerking met Taschen heeft uitgegeven als cadeau bij een abonnement op de krant. De deeltjes hebben een uniforme stijl, het zijn gebonden boekjes van ongeveer 96 blz, waarin een inleiding wordt gegeven op het werk van een 20-tal moderne schilders. Op de voorzijde van de omslag staat steeds een van de bekendste schilderijen en op de achterkant meestal een foto van de schilder. De deeltjes zijn vlot geschreven, met uitleg bij de getoonde werken. Handig voor een eerste kennismaking, maar doet bij een aantal kunstenaars (voor iedereen andere vermoed ik) naar meer smaken. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The feminine world: The work of the great Austrian symbolist Gustav Klimt's ornate art expresses the apocalyptic atmosphere of Vienna's upper middle-class society around the turn of the 20th century--a society devoted to the cultivation of aesthetic awareness and the cult of pleasure. The ecstatic joy which Klimt (1862-1918) and his contemporaries found--or hoped to find--in beauty was constantly overshadowed by death. And death therefore plays an important role in Klimt's art. Klimt's fame, however, rests on his reputation as one of the greatest erotic painters and graphic artists of his times. His drawings in particular, which have been widely admired for their artistic excellence, are dominated by the sensual portrayal of women. About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
