"This private photograph is captivating because of the contrast between the different silhouettes of the three figures, which reveals the emancipatory radicalism of the reform dress. Implicitly, as one might say, this also "quotes" the design element of repeated curved lines, as found in many of Gustav Klimt's compositions."

What do you think about the Attersee?

It's the biggest lake in Austria that is NOT a border to other countries like Lake Neusiedl (which is currently in danger of drying out. Which is apparently not even the first time this has happened in its history) or Lake Konstanz aka Bodensee (which is in NO danger of EVER drying out, mostly because it has an entire river flowing THROUGH it (yes, really. They consider the Rhine to flow through the Bodensee))

Anyway, I took that picture of the Attersee about three years ago. It's a popular spot for divers because the water is so clear and there's not much plants on the ground. It's also WAY warmer in summer than the neighboring Traunsee, which goes up to like. 15°C, even in summer. Probably because the lake is so deep and dark. (Srsly, that shit looks cursed) Not Attersee tho, this friendly boi can go up to 25°C in August.

The high rock formation in the background is called "Höllengebirge" (lit.: hell's mountains) tho, so at least THAT might account for some cursed energy. (Behind that mountain is the Traunsee tho, so it might be that LOL)

Gustav Klimt, On Lake Attersee, 1900. Oil on canvas

On lake Atersee, Gustav Klimt, 1900.

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. The unusual turquoise color is reminiscent of contemporaneous pictures by the French Impressionist Claude Monet, but also pays homage to the unique topographical attributes of the Attersee, which features such colors during the morning hours in the summer.
