Hour for the Arts with Gay Bechtelheimer
September 9, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Registration required Online form at https://saac-arts.org/lecture/A Lecture Series with Gay Bechtelhiemer. For the first fall lecture, Gay will delve into the artwork of Gustav Klimt and the Vienna Secessionists. "Klimt’s work, including his “golden phase” paintings “The Kiss” and “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I,” is some of the most recognizable art in the world. However, he was often the subject of controversy. Klimt was a founding member of the Vienna Secession, which aimed to provide exposure for unconventional young artists and to bring the work of foreign artists to Vienna, without declaring support for any particular artistic style. Until his death in 1918 as a result of the worldwide influenza epidemic, Klimt continued to push boundaries and work prolifically."
