• This dramatic mountainous landscape was painted by Alexei Jawlensky in Oberstdorf, a small town in the Bavarian Alps where the artist stayed in the second half of 1912 with his family and Marianne von Werefkin. Made up of patches of strong, vibrant colors delineated in bold black contours, this landscape depicts hills and mountains that appear to be stacked one on top of the other, leading the viewer’s eye from the foreground to the top of the composition. The range of intense blue, yellow and orange tones is typical of Jawlensky’s Expressionist palette that characterized his paintings of this period. We hope this colorful scene inspires you to climb up a mountain! _________ Alexei Jawlensky (1864–1941), “Oberstdorf – Mountains,” 1912, oil on cardboard.

  • We hope you find a moment of serenity this gorgeous Saturday! Doesn’t this boat ride look romantic? There are so many myths about true love, including the mythic bond shared between Gustav Klimt and Emilie Flöge. Their relationship lasted for 27 years, until the artist's death in 1918, but its exact nature remains something of an enigma. Although it began as an infatuation, it matured into a close friendship that was intellectually and emotionally intimate rather than physical. Many believe that the couple portrayed in Klimt’s "The Kiss" is actually a self-portrait of the artist embracing Emilie. Regardless of the exact nature of their ties, she was his muse and lifelong companion. They socialized in the same circles, bohemian and high society alike, and he sent prosperous clients to her haute couture fashion salon known as the Schwestern Flöge (Flöge Sisters). His last words reportedly were, “Send for Emilie." ________ Gustav Klimt and Emilie Flöge in a row boat on the Attersee, 1909.

  • Josef Hoffmann, co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops), designed miniature jeweled masterworks for some of the most important patrons of the day. The piece featured here was acquired by textile industrialist Fritz Waerndorfer as a gift for his wife.
