The artist Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was a solitary man who spent most of his time at home, where he could usually be found dressed in sandals and a robe. At the end of the century he helped found the Vienna Secession, which championed the unconventional. Klimt’s glittering “Golden Phase” began in the 1900s, when he added gold leaf and Byzantine mosaic patterns to his portraits of women. Famous among these works is Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, from 1907, also called The Woman in Gold. It is less known that during his summer holidays in the Austrian countryside, on the Attersee in the Salzkammergut region, Klimt worked on bucolic landscapes in pure color, many in a square format that reflected his love of photography. These would become some of his most sought after pictures. This exhibition at the artist’s de facto New York home, the Neue Galerie, presents Klimt’s rare landscapes. —Elena Clavarino
