Rediscovering Klimt
I had almost forgotten about Gustav Klimt. I remember the first time looking at his work in art books during school - I was spellbound. Drawn to the decorative patterns, luminous beauty and elegance of his paintings, I think that he has been a definite influence on my work. So, it was fantastic again to see Klimt and Egon Schiele's work again at the Leopold Museum and the Belvedere. I could feel corners of my mouth gradually rising to a big smile. Wunderbar!!

It's a great feeling to be re-inspired by visiting art works in real life, especially old favourites from high school years. I always feel the same when seeing a Klimt painting - his work is so painterly, hard to reproduce in printed form. I hope you enjoyed your time In Vienna - that Sacher Torte looked pretty amazing!
