Art as Inspiration, part 4: Klimt Revisited

I used to really hate Klimt, but after spending a few days in a room with a giant reproduction of Klimt's "The Kiss" (true story), his style really grew on me.

I kind of wish he was still alive...and designing clothing. But since he isn't, we've got to rely on interpretations by designers like Galliano. Here are a few examples of the master's work (Klimt, not Galliano. That comes later.).

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I

    Klimt is a genius, I sorta wish someone other than Galliano would take inspiration from him though, I find Galliano too in-your-face...
