| Gustav Klimt |
Gustav Klimt is an artist that
works on paintings and sculptures. Also, he is one of the members of Vienna
Secession, which is a group of Austrian architects and artists form the period.
Gustav Klimt have been created so many paintings such as ‘The Kiss’, ‘Music II’,
‘Leda’, ‘Mother and child’, ‘Hygia’ and ,one of his most famous work, the
“Golden portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer”. Later on, Ronald S Lauder, a cosmetics
magnet, has brought this painting for $135 million and made the painting became
the most expensive painting in the history. Gustav, now, is a bigger league
than famous artist like Picasso or Van Gogh. However, does his painting really worth
for $135 million since he has never created any unstable master piece work. Or
did he change art like the other two artists did, all he was before is just one
member of Vienna Secession until Lauder splashed the money on his painting.
Comparing Gustav Klimt to many famous artists in the history, most of his
paintings are showing a naked blond holding up a mirror and staring out at us,
which it is either look backward as well as impractical. This is might be the
reason why he did not became a true heroic modern artist. In my opinion, Gustav
got lucky that Lauder decide to give him a big hit of cash. In the mean time,
it could be considered him as a good artist who was able to create a painting
and persuade someone to spend so much money on it. However, if discuss about
the price of the painting, I’ll say that the Adele Bloch-Bauer do not worth
$135m nor does Gustav deserve to be in a bigger league than Picasso or Van
Gogh.
