About the Item

Frey Wille Hommage A' Gustav Klimt Fire Gilt Earrings, Ring, Necklace, Bracelet Set Set by Michaela Frey Wein. From the Frey Wille website: Gustav Klimt was born in Baumgarten, near Vienna, in 1862. His father was an engraver, his mother was a singer, and artistic tendencies were encouraged. Gustav studied architectural painting at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, where he readily accepted conservative training. He never turned his back on the old forms; throughout his life, he constantly borrowed from mythology to inform and shape his work. The result was a form of symbolism never seen before; by the end of the 1900s, he had developed a completely new way of painting that united natural details with abstract, colourful and tessellated patterns. Klimt became known for his paintings, murals and beautiful objets d'art. If his style was unusual, his subject matter also raised eyebrows - Klimt saw nothing wrong in depicting sexuality and the female body became his primary subject. He also became known for using golf leaf, a practice he fully developed after being inspired during a trip to Italy. By 1909, he had received enormous recognition for ceiling frescos and wall paintings in Vienna’s Burgtheater, in the city’s Kunsthistorisches Museum and the University of Vienna. In 1910, the Venice Biennale purchased his painted ‘Judith II’, or ‘Salome’, and his international reputation was set. In the early 1890s Klimt met the fashion designer Emilie Louise Flöge. Whether or not they were lovers is debatable. Klimt fathered at least 14 children—none with Emilie, yet she remained his companion for the rest of this life. She was the model for many of his figures and his masterpiece ‘The Kiss’ is thought to be the image of them together, real or imagined. When Klimt was finally felled by a stroke, in 1918, his last words were ‘Get Emilie’.
