“Paraphrase on the Finding of a Glove” cycle
A trained engraver (he studied under Hermann Sagert) already gaining notice for his pen-and-ink drawings and prints, he publishes two sets of etchings, and “Paraphrase on the Finding of a Glove” is an immediate success that establishes his reputation: its images came to him in dreams after he found a glove at an ice-skating rink.

Udstilling · spring 1902
Klinger’s Beethoven at the Vienna Secession
His “Beethoven”, a sculpture of bronze, ivory, alabaster and several marbles, is the centrepiece of the 14th Vienna Secession exhibition, where Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze is visible in an adjoining room and Gustav Mahler is persuaded to transcribe music from the Ninth Symphony for trumpets. The exhibition causes a scandal: the sculpture is dismissed as kitsch and some are offended by a nude Beethoven, while Rodin is reported to have walked past it without comment, later saying it had nothing to do with sculpture.
