Gustav Klimt, On Lake Attersee, 1900
Klimt spent his first summer at this Austrian lake in 1900.
Away from Vienna, he could take a break from commissions and paint what he wanted. No gold. Just nature and the freedom to experiment.
Did Klimt paint some of his best work when he was painting for himself?
Martha - 8”x10” charcoal on pastel paper. I covered the page in charcoal, then pulled it off with an eraser. Used a charcoal pencil and a white colored pencil for the highlights.
