GUSTAV KLIMT: The main man of Austria's art nouveau

 Tuesday, March 18 at 2:00pm 

Cribari Conference Room

The Villages Arts & Crafts Association

 presents an excellent film on the life and work of Gustav Klimt

hosted by Marion Rose.

His art is characterized by being bejeweled, decorative, sensual and powerfully erotic.

Klimt was part of the Viennese Secession, a group of German and Austrian artists 

that were moving art away from the traditional, much like the Impressionists did in Paris.

He did not follow any of the trends of his times and was influenced by

Greek and Egyptian themes, the avant garde of the turn of the century and

learning the use of mosaics, frescoes and gold!

His emphasis was on design and the line of beauty, breaking down barriers 

between art and craft.

Free to all Villagers and their guests.

Popcorn will be served.

An art related door prize will be presented at the end of the film.

This film runs for 1 hour/ 20 minutes
