Presentación sobre Klimt para los alumnos de 6º de primaria con su trabajo posterior en el aula

1. GUSTAV KLIMT
Nineteenth century (XIX)
Austrian painter Gustav Klimt is known for the highly decorative style
of his works, his most famous being “The Kiss”.
Born in 1862, Austrian painter Gustav Klimt became known for the
highly decorative style , which were seen as a rebellion against the
traditional academic art of his time.

2. BIOGRAPHY
Gustav Klimt was born on the outskirts of
Vienna, Austria, on July 14, 1862. His father,
Ernst, was a struggling gold engraver who had
immigrated to Vienna from Bohemia, and his
mother, Anna, was musically talented, although
she had never realized her dream of becoming a
professional musician. Perhaps genetically
predisposed to the arts, then, Klimt displayed a
notable talent from an early age, and at 14 years
old left his normal school to attend the Vienna
School of Arts and Crafts on a full scholarship,
no small matter considering both his youth and
the relative poverty in which he had been raised.

3. THE KISS
The Kiss (in German Der Kuss) is an oil-on-canvas painting with
added gold leaf, silver and platinum by the Austrian Symbolist
painter Gustav Klimt. It was painted at some point in 1907 and
1908, during the height of what scholars call his "Golden
Period".The painting depicts a couple embracing each other, their
bodies entwined in elaborate beautiful robes decorated in a style
influenced by the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic
forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement. The painting now
hangs in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere museum in the
Belvedere, Vienna, and is considered a masterpiece of Vienna
Secession (local variation of Art Nouveau) and Klimt's most
popular work.

4. THE TREE OF LIFE
The Tree of life is an important symbol
used by many theologies, philosophies and
mythologies. It signifies the connection
between heaven and earth and the
underworld, and the same concept is
illustrated by Gustav Klimt's famous mural,
The Tree of Life. For Klimt's admirers, the
mural also has another significance, being
the only landscape created by the artist
during his golden period. Klimt used oil
painting techniques with gold paint, to
create luxurious art pieces, during that time.
