Thanks! I’m not a huge fan of Klimt. His work feels very uncomfortable to me. But this was a great compilation of his work. And the choice of music was great. I appreciate your work on these videos.

I love the educational aspect of these videos. And I think how long it would have taken to have gotten the same perspective back in 1966. I love the term “uncomfortable.” The fun part is figuring out WHY. The academy artists could always be relied on for a consistency. This one can’t be. Can you get any closer to the why?

What I loved best was the class wandering the Art Institute while the instructor pointed out aspects of the actual paintings. Then, when he’d ripped them to shreds, he told us to forget everything he’d said and just put them back together to see as a whole. Well, that and the fact that our life-sketching teacher made us draw the models without their skin on or upside down.
