Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism.
Klimt's work is often distinguished by elegant gold or coloured decoration, spirals and swirls, and phallic shapes used to conceal the more erotic positions of the drawings upon which many of his paintings are based.

Gustav Klimt was born in Baumgarten, near Vienna, the second of seven children — three boys and four girls.Klimt lived in poverty for most of his childhood, as work was scarce and economic advancement was difficult for immigrants.
In 1876, Klimt was awarded a scholarship to the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, where he studied until 1883.

In 1892 both Klimt's father and brother Ernst died, and he had to assume financial responsibility for his father's and brother's families. Traggic affected his artistic vision as well, and soon he would veer toward a new personal style. In the early 1890s, even though the artist's relationships with other women, Klimt met Emilie Flöge who was to be his companion until the end of his life. Whether his relationship with Flöge was sexual or not is debated, but during that period Klimt fathered at least 14 children.

Klimt became one of the founding members and president of the Wiener Sezession (Vienna Secession) in 1897 and of the group's periodical Ver Sacrum (Sacred Spring).

In 1911 his painting Death and Life received first prize in the world exhibitions in Rome. In 1915 his mother Anna died. Klimt died three years later in Vienna on February 6, 1918.

Klimt's paintings have brought some of the highest prices recorded for individual works of art. In November 2003, Klimt's Landhaus am Attersee sold for $29,128,000,[15] but that was soon eclipsed by prices paid for other Klimts.

The great world of Andy warhol

I have been to Andy warhol exhibition in seoul municipal art gallery on April 2.

It was difficult to enjoy the exhibition because of the large crowds and the gallery was about to close.

The pictures were beautiful, but I also felt dizzy and uncomfortable due to the repeating art pieces using different color schemes.

The world of Andy Warhol's works is commercial and emphasizes the use of color contrast for silk screen paintings.

The world of Andy Warhol is what we call pop art. Andy Warhol was a pioneer who bridged the line between general art and fine art.

Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. He was the fourth child of Ondrej Warhola and Ulja, whose first child was born in their homeland and died before their migration to the U.S.

Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928- February 22, 1987), more commonly known as ANDY WARHOL, was American painter , printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator,

Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as painter, avant-grade filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his membership in wildly diverse social circles that included bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy patrons.

He called The Factor own his studio. He must be receive an deep impression through the list of image that is constantly produced in developed industry captialism.

at the time, his works give fresh and shock. because he has exactly an insight into commercialization of image that produced in the captialism.

But this insight is ,on the other hand, caused by Andy warhol's character that what get a money ,honor, be famous is really like it.

He want to put his works really all american , richness of american's life. and then a period of AD disigner, he was agonize about how to decorate beautifully luturious products and he wants to be

a star himself.

Andy warhol said 'I'm started commercial artist and expect to ended as a commerical artist.

Earning money, working is art. but the art of best is working business very well.

The best thing of Andy warhol is pull down border of art. He is knock down between overculture and subculture. and then he was defined again thorogh the purpose that expessed oneself and value.

Nevertheless, I would think that no one properly understood Andi warhol in the constantly repeated flood of image
