メトロポリタン美術館のインスタグラム(metmuseum) - 7月14日 23時00分
Happy birthday, Gustav Klimt! 🌸 By her own account, nine-year-old Mäda Primavesi was willful and a tomboy—claims we needn't question given her confident pose here. Klimt made numerous preliminary sketches for this portrait, experimenting with different poses, outfits, and backgrounds before deciding to show Mäda standing tall in a specially made dress amid a profusion of springlike patterns. The picture testifies to the sophisticated taste of her parents, banker and industrialist Otto Primavesi and his wife Eugenia, who were ardent supporters of progressive Viennese art and design.
🎨 Gustav Klimt (Austrian, 1862–1918). Mäda Primavesi (1903–2000), 1912–13. Oil on canvas. On view in Gallery 829. #TheMet https://met.org/2XXga3g

This is so interesting because the bottom half of the painting is essentially white which contradicts the notion that a standing figure should have more weight at the bottom. Thus, his figure of the girl is part of the overall design of the piece. Design was his thing. But drawing a great face was also his thing and experimentation using the portrait motif. ❤️

Speaking of birthdays, when is Andrew's birthday? I'll have to send him an email. And speaking of paintings, I just delivered 'Blue Tower' to Elaine's gallery. She thinks she has a buyer for it. I'll know tomorrow.
