Attersee by Gustav Klimt

For the time, this landscape was an unusual and courageous depiction of Klimt’s much-loved Attersee. Courageously, the totality of the water surface is rendered here as an almost abstract color composition and encompasses the majority of the painting. With a certain freedom, Klimt depicts the waves as turquoise speckles, which progressively shrink toward the top of the painting and thereby suggest the illusion of depth. The dark tree tops of the island of Litzlberg in the upper-right corner are the only clearly defined objects on the horizon. Of all of his landscape paintings, this is the one where Klimt ventured furthest into abstract art.
