Brava, mairdie! Great choice of painting and music. I love Klimt, especially his landscapes. Fascinating artist.

I have to admit that I didn’t remember his work until Captain Compassion reminded me. I’d been listening on and off to the Bach Sax Fudge Fugue and it had that playful quality that Klimt has. Match! Thanks to all of the great suggestions on FR, I’m learning a lot! Who would have guessed that Klimt started out as such a brilliant portrait painter. That mix of incredible artistry mixed with playful design is just brilliant. And his landscapes definitely aren’t to be confused with the French Impressionists, even though they clearly owe a debt there. All fascinating.
