Gustav Klimt. Portrait of the Artist Painting

This is contemporary semi-abstract acrylic painting of Gustav Klimt, Austrian painter. Gustav Klimt wrote: “I have never painted a self-portrait. I am less interested in myself as a subject for a painting than I am in other people, above all women…There is nothing special about me. I am a painter who paints day after day from morning to night…Whoever wants to know something about me…ought to look carefully at my pictures.” From years I've been fascinated by this remarkable artist, hence I've decided to make him the object of my painting. There are only few portraits of this Austrian artist available to view online, but I am convinced he deserves more, so the viewers will have recognised the face of the founder of the Vienna Secession, who had created far more significant artworks than "The Kiss" or "Judith". Not only I wanted to pay my respect, and show my admiration to Klimt by painting his portraiture, but also I aimed to encourage the viewers to explore more facts about this marvellous, albeit once controversial painter. My painting is symbolic. In my interpretation, Klimt sits in a decorated armchair as if he was a king, but he has no crown, nor does he hold a sceptre. His only insignia is a simple paintbrush. There is no self-admiration seen on his face, nor pride visible on his face or in his pose, but humility, as befits a modest painter. • Modern painting of Gustav Klimt sitting on the armchair • Semi abstract portraiture • Bold colours -painted in tones of green, blue, yellow, red and black • Painted in acrylic and chalk paint on canvas • Signed on the front: Mir; signed (Malgorzata Miroslaw) and dated on the back • Varnished in Matt to minimalise light reflection • Dimensions 22in x 28in x 1.5 cm. • Unframed to match your style Colour may slightly vary due to monitor settings, and lighting during photographing.
