Description
The ever-changing surface of water is nearly impossible for many artists to capture, but Gustav Klimt proved he was up to the task in “Island in Lake Atter, Around 1901.” This innovative artist experimented in a variety of styles; this painting is a striking example of his experimentation with Impressionism and his impressive use of light and color. Klimt spent many summers gazing at the waters of this lake in Austria, and his fascination with it is clear in this work of art. Though he had painted the lake previously, this version created around 1901 continues to be one of his most stunning works of Impressionist painting. With its beautiful range of green, yellow and blue tones, Klimt’s “Island in Lake Atter, Around 1901” makes a lovely addition to any home or office.
