In the middle of the night, Pingguo got up and seemed to be sitting on the sofa in the large living room of the family apartment, and Pingwei and Pingfu were sitting opposite.

Pingguo said: "Truly, you two are here to protect our mother and daughter! If it weren't for you two, the princess and I would have spent time at the police station today, and maybe the bank card was stolen and the cash was taken." Thank you!"

Pingfu smiled and said: "This has to thank Pingwei, I, like you, am completely fascinated by Mozart's so many versions of the opera tenor of "The Marriage of Figaro", and I am completely intoxicated, and I don't even notice that someone is calculating you." ”

Pingguo asked, "Brother Ping, how did you find out? How did you recover the wallet? Why don't you just return it to my hand?"

Pingwei smiled slightly and said, "It has to be like this." ”

Ping Fu laughed and said, "Okay, if you don't say it, I said, you can't let our little sister of the Ping family fall into the clouds." I think so, Pingwei has been following your mother and daughter, so he naturally pays attention to the left and right. The girl follows you from the moment you enter the elevator of Mozart's house and go up to the third floor, and as soon as the elevator doors open, you appear as soon as you appear. You're just watching and listening, and you don't notice her tracking. As soon as she succeeded, Pingwei waited at the staircase in front of the cash register on the first floor, and then accepted it, believing that she would not dare to wash her wallet in advance. Before handing it over to the cashier, it was Pingwei who was worried that the staff here would misunderstand your nonsense. It's best for the staff to return you, isn't it? It's a matter of Chinese reputation. Pingwei, you say, my explanation, right?"

Pingwei nodded and smiled.

Pingguo said: "This man, he is really careful! Sister Wu, this time you are marrying the right person! ”

Ping Fu also smiled and said, "Traveling to Europe with your mother and daughter, sincerely, that's right! Not to mention feasting your eyes, you can also increase your knowledge, hehe." ”

So, they all laughed, and it seemed that the green silk was ethereal~

Pingguo sat up straight, and all he saw was black shadows, where was there any green silk. stood up, walked to the agarwood box, touched it, and sure enough, the black one was gone, Pingguo thought: Let's go to the clouds again, right?

She went to the bathroom, then walked back to the bed, leaned over, and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Pingguo sleepily began to prepare omelettes, milk, and fruit.

She always puts blueberries, grapes, bananas, pears, avocados and more on a large plate and pours in a box of plain yogurt.

Then, when frying the eggs, always use olive oil, simmer slowly in a hot pan, and after changing sides, start to twist pepper on the eggs, put them on a plate covered with lettuce and tomato slices, and then drizzle with light soy sauce.

Pingguo's breakfast was praised by the princess, and she ate it fragrant and clean.

Then, Ping Hanhan said: "Mom, today I will take you to the Belvedere Palace in Vienna, where there is Gustav Klimt's "Kiss". Okay, okay?"

When Pingguo heard this, he was very happy and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, go, go, let's go!"

Pinggo loves Gustav. She had seen the BBC documentary, but she didn't know that Gustav's works all existed in the Belvedere Palace.

In the end, the National Art Museum, a one-year joint ticket can't be wasted.

Born in Vienna, Gustav was a well-known Austrian symbolist painter. He also founded the Vienna Secession, a so-called representative of the Viennese cultural scene. Gustav Klimt's paintings are characterized by the use of special symbolic ornaments, in which a theme of love is abundantly displayed.

One year, in the "Impressionism and Modernism" night auction held in London, Gustav's landscape painting "Flower Farm" was sold for 48 million pounds (about 405.6 million yuan). This shows how deeply rooted Gustav's paintings are. For ordinary people like Pingguo, being able to appreciate the authentic works is the luckiest thing in life, how can you miss it?

Another feature of Gustav Klimt's paintings is that most of the subjects in his paintings are women, and the themes are love, sex, and the reincarnation of life and death.

Gustav was the second oldest in the family. His father was a gold carver from Bohemia, and his mother dreamed of a career in music, but it never came true. So when he was a child, his family was always very poor, there were few jobs at that time, and the economy of immigrants was difficult.

In 1876 he was awarded a scholarship to the Vienna School of Art and Business, and he was able to continue his studies and eventually become an architectural painter.

The following year, his brother Ernst also enrolled at the school.

Together with their friend Franz Mazqu, the two brothers were commissioned to create murals for the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna under the name of the group "Group of Painters".

Gustav soon became famous for his interior frescoes and paintings of the ceilings of large public buildings, including a successful series of allegorical and symbolic paintings, which began his career.

In 1880, Emperor Franz Joseph I awarded Gustav the Gold Medal for his contribution to the frescoes of the Vienna Court Theater.

Gustav Klimt is also an honorary member of the Universities of Munich and Vienna.

In the early 1890s, Klimt met Emily Flogg, who became Klimt's lifelong companion despite his entanglements with other women. Whether his relationship with Frog was confined to the flesh is still a matter of debate, but Pingo thinks it is meaningless, since Gustav Klimt is said to have had at least fourteen children as his own.

In 1892, Klimt's father and brother Ernst both died, and Klimt had to take financial responsibility for his father and brother's family. This tragedy also had a profound impact on Gustav Klimt's artistic philosophy, and he soon turned to creating a new personal style.

In 1897 he founded the Vienna Secession, where he served as president of its periodical, the Holy Spring, where he remained until 1908.

The goal of the Vienna Secession was to provide a platform for young non-traditional creators to publish, to bring to Vienna the best works of foreign painters, and to publish their own magazines to showcase the work of the members. The secessionists declared that there was no manifesto, nor did they actively encourage any significant style, and that naturalism, realism, and symbolism could peacefully coexist. The government also supported their goals and granted leases on public land to build the exhibition hall.

The symbol of the Secession is Athena, a Greek goddess of wisdom, skill, and war, and Gustav Klimt painted his own version of Athena in 1898.

Beginning in 1894, Klimt was commissioned to create three paintings to decorate the ceiling of the University Hall in Vienna. Completed in 1900, three of Klimt's paintings, such radical themes and sources as Philosophy, Medicine, and Jurisprudence, were criticized and rated as "pornographic." Because Gustav Klimt abandoned traditional allegorical and symbolic devices, and used a new and more blatant expression of surname love, it attracted a lot of controversy.

At that time, public protests came from all directions, political, aesthetic and religious, and as a result, the three paintings by Gustav Klimt were shelved and not placed on the ceiling of the hall.

From then on, Gustav Klimt never accepted any more public assignments, and in May 1945, Gustav Klimt's three paintings were destroyed by Hitler's SS.

Pingguo once regretted it very much.

Ping Hanhan said: "Look, fortunately, we still have so many paintings to enjoy.

You see, the truth. Gustav's attempt to further shake conventional wisdom is fully explained: this undisguised (naked) red-haired woman holds a mirror of truth in her hand, quoting Schiller's font above it, and writes a wise quote: 'If you cannot satisfy all with your achievements and art, then satisfy the few.' Satisfying all is broken. ’

Look, the "Beethoven Ribbon" in this book is a full praise for the composer Beethoven. It is a monumental, colourful sculpture made by Max Klinger, and the friezes are only for exhibitions. Gustav Klimt painted it directly on the wall with brilliant paint. It is said that after the exhibition, the paintings were retained, but they were not exhibited to the public until 1986.

After meeting Flogg, Gustav and her family spent their summer vacations on the shores of Lake Artel, painting many landscapes.

I love his landscapes the most, they are all characterized by the same elaborate patterns, emphasizing the structure and symbolic fragments, and successfully flattening the depths of the work into a single plane, and I believe that in the process of painting, he must have created these beautiful paintings by looking at the scenery through a telescope.

Quick, look closely, this pinnacle painting "Kiss" is the most successful of the Golden Period, and it basically took two years to complete this oil paint on canvas.

Yes, when Pinggo and the princess walked into the hall of Gustav's exhibition, they were immediately impressed by the original "Kiss".

Pingguo lingered in front of the painting.

Gazing back and forth, left and right, far and near, as if she was her favorite painting, she couldn't move her footsteps, and she couldn't do without grace.

Gustav Klimt's golden period, which brought him endless positive reviews and successes, is considered to be his peak.

He made extensive use of gold leaf, a dazzling gold color that was shining.

In fact, Pingo is well aware that Gustav began to use gold leaf when he created Pallas Athena (1898) and Judith I (1901).

The most famous works, of course, are Portrait of Edith No. 1 (1907) and The Kiss (1907-1908), both of which are Pingo's favorites.

Gustav Klimt rarely traveled, but he visited Venice, famous for its beautiful mosaics, and Ravenna, so it is likely that these places were the places where Gustav Klimt was inspired by the style of gold and court painting.

When he was at home, Klimt always wore sandals and a long tunics, often without underwear, and lived a lazy and casual simple life, living as if he were in seclusion, and hardly participated in coffee socializing or socializing with others.

So his doorstep was crowded.

Yes, the reputation of a good painter, like the steps he takes to paint, is accumulated little by little.

Gustav always began to work carefully and carefully after he had thought it out and had completely conceived it, which took a long time to continue painting.

Although Klimt was very interested in his paintings, he remained cautious about romances, but the rumors always followed him, and he had no choice but to let him go.

Gustav Klimt once wrote in a written account: "I have never painted a self-portrait. I have less interest in painting myself as the subject of painting than in painting other people, and women take precedence...... I'm nothing special. I am a painter who paints day after day, day and night...... Anyone who wants to know more about me...... You should look at my paintings with caution. ”

This is how the leading figure of the Vienna Secession and the famous painter emphasized personal aesthetic taste, emotional expression and imaginative creation.

Pingguo appreciates that his works not only have the philosophical content of symbolist paintings, but also have oriental decorative taste, and he also enjoys his emphasis on the proportional division of space and the expressiveness of lines, and pays attention to the design style of formalism.

Pingguo muttered to himself: "Look, Gustav's asymmetrical compositions, decorative patterned shapes, heavy color and line drawing style, golden and brilliant tone, the underlying mysticism in the symbols, the strong sense of flatness and the rich and brilliant decorative effects make the picture permeated with a strong personality temperament, which must have a huge and far-reaching influence on the art of painting and mosaic design."

That was why Gustav Klimt could be elected the first chairman of the Vienna separatist faction in Austria.

Born in Vienna, he entered the School of Arts and Crafts affiliated with the Austrian Museum in Vienna at the age of 14 and graduated after 17 years of basic painting training in the form of an academy.

He then set up his own design studio to paint murals for both domestic and foreign countries.

His early works were largely traditional in their expressions, characterized by rigorous shapes and intense colours.

After the establishment of the Secession, they explored a combination of decorative and symbolic expressions.

His paintings have a "mosaic style", and then he became interested in Chinese painting with strong colors and bright lines, as well as other oriental arts, which led to a new change in his painting style. During this period, he began to use craftsmanship, using feathers, metal, glass, gemstones and other materials to compose his artworks with flat decorative patterns, so that the works have a particularly gorgeous decorative effect.

See, in his works, the composition is very rigorous and detailed, except for the face and body of the figure, the rest of the clothing and background are full of abstract geometric patterns, this slender deformation and realistic combination of shape, is surrounded by an atmosphere full of abstraction, symbolism and even mystery, with a beautiful flowerbed-like decorative beauty. If you look at it carefully, you will find that inside the gorgeous and luxurious appearance, it also contains the tragic atmosphere of human suffering, grief, silence and death.

Lo and behold, this "Goldfish", on the rectangular picture, is placed with different forms of love, if it is faint, flowing curves and bright nudes, making the picture full of vitality. The painter skillfully uses different curves and color blocks to form a pattern-like picture, with realism in decoration and figuration in abstraction, and the painting style is really unique.

Look, in this "Three Stages of a Woman", the painter uses symbolic techniques to condense the three stages of a woman's life - childhood, youth and old age into one painting, which is an irreversible trilogy of life, showing the painter's sentimentality towards fate.

Gustav Klimt is good at using figurative realism to shape figures, and decorating the environment and clothing with patterns, so as to achieve a harmonious and unified aesthetic of diverse variations. The composition of the painting resembles a cross, with a large black patch on the top, which may allude to the horror of death and express the artist's concept of life and death.

Looking at the painting "Satisfaction", you can feel that the mural has a very strong decorative nature, and the use of gold and silver leaf makes the mural look very magnificent. The painter uses weaving and combining patterns and symbolism to depict a couple of lovers hugging each other, except for the distinctive head of the figure, the whole figure is submerged in a very dazzling variety of patterns.

The painting Salome is a story based on the Bible.

Pinggo is not uncommon in religious paintings, but he still has a soft spot for this painting: on the birthday of King Herod of Judea, his niece Salome danced for him, and he promised her any request when he was in a hurry, and the niece was instigated by her mother to avenge her mother's head, and the king really beheaded John.

The image of Salome in the painting is placed in a long composition, surrounded by two distinct arc-like lines, the bare breasts of the upper body protrude, full of seductive sexiness, and the use of stiff hands to show a terrible murderous aura, and her beautiful face, but there is a hint of remorse, this is an artistic image with complex contradictions.

In the lower part of the picture, there is also a half of John's head.

In European medieval paintings, there are many religious stories that show similar stories, and Pingguo is very disliked. However, Gustav depicts Salome's cold face and bare shoulders in a realistic way, while the rest of the picture is filled with patterns of various shapes and colors, making this decorative painting have a tragic impact, intertwined with the sentimentality of love and the contradiction between life and death.

Overflowing with a kind of enchantment, death and dream, this decorative space fills this space.

Pingguo and Pinghanhan are in the Gustav exhibition hall, walking and stopping, but they can't go out.

Pinggo wondered, how could Gustav have contracted the Spanish flu in 1918, and how could he have died because of it?

In the end, at the urging of the staff to leave work, the mother and daughter reluctantly left the Gustav showroom.

Arriving at the souvenir shop, the mother and daughter did not hesitate to buy postcards of Gustav's paintings and printed paintings of "The Kiss".
