“There is no self-portrait of me.”
- Gustav Klimt
That’s it. It’s official, I’m a total Kattaca fan.
First, they did Art Design for one of my favourite books, The Little Prince, now they grace us with their interpretation of the works of one of my favourite artists, Gustav Klimt.
Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most well known members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His most successful phase is considered his “Golden Phase” where each of his pieces were painted with gold leaf.
I love this. I mean I really, absolutely, love Kattaca’s interpretation here.
My favourite Klimt piece is “The Kiss” (above.) I had a poster of it that I hung in my dorm room my first year in university. It’s so pure, so colourful and so utterly lovely.
Go below for the rest:-
