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.
