Johanna SchwarzbeckLeanna's Dream2022
2022
About the Item
In my appropriation of Henri Rousseau's painting "The Dream," I replaced his nude reclining on the couch with my sister Leanna.
I envisioned her magically transported into a lush jungle inhabited by exotic birds and beasts. I painted this beautiful surreal jungle for her, seeing her transitioning to another dimension or realm after finding out about her passing on August 19, 2020.
"It is impossible to understand addiction without asking what relief the addict finds, or hopes to find, in the drug or the addictive behavior." (Quote by Gabor Mate)
I did ask her that question but received no answer, and instead, a slap in my face.
Covid-19 and the lengthy isolation at home made her lonely, and she drank even more. At this point, at the end of her life, all I hoped for her to see was a beautiful, magical jungle and a new world beyond pain.

Ms.Schwarzbeck uses appropriation in her art to contemplate history, reframe ideas, generate conversation, and produce new ways of thinking, exploring, and informing.

Gold & Despair
By Johanna Schwarzbeck
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Gold & Despair is my adaptation of Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece "The Woman In Gold", also known as The Mona Lisa of Austria. Having admired the symbolic art of Klimt since my working days as a fine art restorer at Vienna’s prestigious Conservation Institute (Bundesdenkmalamt) in the 1980’s, I conceived the idea to recreate the jewel of his gilded period with an interpretive lens on the looming darkness of the Holocaust and World War II.
As a native of Austria, Salzburg, I have developed an appreciation for Klimt’s art, and Art Nouveau in general. For the last thirty years, I have lived in New York City and worked as a fine art restorer, conservator, and painter as well as in the healing arts.
Klimt had executed The Woman in Gold in the span of four years (1903-1907). My own creative process during 2014-2017, reflects my diligent care and thoroughness in rendering the original painting. In 2014, I started with the preparation of the canvas using Klimt’s original size of 54 x 54 inches (167 x 167 cm). For gesso, I used the traditional method of rabbit skin glue and chalk. For the painting, I used oil paints and genuine 23.5 karat gold in various shades, as well as silver leaves, to magnify the brilliant sheen of Klimt’s gold...
