Gustav Klimt — Music (Die Musik), 1895 Art Postcard

Music (Die Musik, 1895) comes from a period before the Vienna Secession formally existed — Klimt still drawing from Symbolist myth and art-nouveau convention: a lyre, a sphinx, Greek-revival ornament. The painting is at the Neue Pinakothek, Munich. An earlier Klimt for collectors tracing how he arrived at the Golden Phase, or for correspondence that wants something symbolic rather than portrait-based. From the painting art postcard collection. 10×15 cm, 350 g/m².
