Colors in our life...

Happy Birthday Gustav Klimt! Gustav Klimt is best known for his opulently gilded art nouveau portraits of women that epitomize fin-de-siècle Vienna. His Symbolist pastiches of pale nudes, allegorical gardens and erotic content served as the basis for many American psychedelic poster designs in the 1960s. Early in his career, Klimt was supported generously by the Viennese community, and received several commissions for murals in theaters and the Museum Kunsthistorisches. Early... narrative paintings depicted heavy subjects such as anxiety, doubt, sexuality, and death, but in later years, he turned toward landscape painting, exploring light and abstract patterns of nature. His most famous paintings are The Kiss (1907) and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (1907), which sold for a record auction price of more than 100 million dollars in 2006. Austrian, 18621918, Baumgarten, Austria, based in Vienna, Austria

Happy birthday, Amedeo Modigliani (Italian, 12 July 1884 24 January 1920)! Amedeo Clemente Modigliani was born into a Jewish family, in Tuscany. While at Guglielmo Micheli's Art School (1898-1900), Modigliani developed a life-long infatuation with life drawing. In 1906 Modigliani moved to Montmartre. Here he carried on frequent affairs, drank heavily, and used absinthe and hashish. When Modigliani died of tubercular meningitis, his lover, painter Jeanne Hebuterne, was so distraught that she threw herself out a window, killing herself and the couple’s unborn child. 9 novels, a play, a documentary and 3 feature films have been devoted to Modigliani‘s life. #amedeomodigliani #modigliani #painter #happybirthday
