Goldfish 1901


Goldfish 1901
Gustav Klimt 

 

Art Nouveau is my favorite art period. My favorite artist of the time is Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt is second in running. Of all his work Goldfish is my favorite. The lines in the image are organic and feminine. Free flowing and fun. The colors create a large value range. Bright smooth to dark and unknown. The color of the fish and the foreground to the right of it shows exuberance, and texture, a sparkle, a sense of glimmer. I love the playfulness and femininity of the subjects.  The subjects look as f they are playing in a pond, or maybe even an ocean. The perspective is also obscure which leave much for your imagination.
