The Adele Bloch-Bauer Portrait II painting, Klimt's masterpiece of 1909 is available in exceptional high quality as reproduction to add to your lounge or bedroom wall!! Klimt's use of swirling branches were continued into Gustav Klimt: Fulfillment (The Embrace) which added his typical portrayal of women with detailed patterns of circles and color.
Klimt's heavily stylized images are two-dimensional with symbols, e.g. stacked Egyptian eyes, triangles, rectangles, circles, possible seedpods and blackbirds perched on a few branches (represents death). All are scattered throughout the golden spirals that form each Pallas Athene. Also, there are shrubs with butterflies, seedlings and flowers on the ground. Expectation depicts a woman (dancer) searching and Fulfillment has an embracing male and female enveloped within a mosaic robe.
Besides less usage of gold in his Later Period, he made other changes such as replacing patterned symbols with flowers, adding multiple coverlets, simplifying the decoration, making a woman look taller when viewed from below the painting, and illustrating a model's likeness and personality (seldom done by Klimt in his earlier periods).
Gustav Klimt created many of his paintings at the Vienna Workshop and incorporated the finest and most luxurious materials at his disposal including marble, goldleaf, silver and semi-precious stones to create a succession of beautiful oil paintings, which include The Kiss, Beethoven Frieze and Adele Bloch-Bauer Portrait II.
