Om maleriet

Med museets ord — på tysk

Aus leuchtend blauen Augen blickt uns Johanna Staude entgegen. Gustav Klimt zeigt die junge Frau vor einem orange-roten Hintergrund mit modischer Frisur und in einem auffällig gemusterten Kleid. Es ist aus einem Stoff der Wiener Werkstätte mit dem Namen „Blätter“ gefertigt, den Martha Albers, Absolventin der Wiener Kunstgewerbeschule, entworfen hat. Um den Hals trägt die Dargestellte eine Federboa, die den Blick auf ihr Gesicht lenkt. Bei dieser ruhigen, einfachen Komposition handelt es sich um eines der letzten Damenbildnisse von Klimt. Der Maler war mit Johanna Staude befreundet, sie dürfte ihm wiederholt Modell gestanden haben. Laut Adressverzeichnissen war sie auch als Sprachlehrerin und Kunstmalerin tätig.

Imens i livet hos Gustav Klimt

Hele livet
  1. 1897–1917

    Society portraits of Viennese ladies

    Over twenty years Klimt painted nearly twenty society portraits of women, which gave him financial independence; Carl Moll introduced him to many of the sitters, most of them from the Jewish upper bourgeoisie. In the portraits the ladies are hidden in sumptuous clothing, their heads and hands seeming to float detached from reality.

  2. 1914–1918

    The war: colourful ladies and a good income

    As if pushing the war out of his world, Klimt again painted the “beautiful Viennese women” — “Lady with a Fan”, “The Bride”, both “Dancers”; “Death and Life” is his only picture on a topical subject. His notebook shows that he earned well in the war years, collectors readily buying his portraits of elegant strangers.

  3. 1915

    Death of his mother

    His mother, Anna Klimt, died; Gustav continued to live on Westbahnstrasse with his two unmarried sisters.

  4. 1917

    Honorary member of the academies of Vienna and Munich

    Klimt was elected an honorary member of the academies of fine arts of Vienna and Munich.

  5. 11 January 1918

    A stroke, the hospital, pneumonia

    A stroke paralysed Klimt's right side; in hospital, where he was put on a water bed for bedsores, he caught influenza and pneumonia. For three weeks the press printed bulletins, and on his deathbed he demanded that his sisters send for Emilie Flöge.
