Description
While the artwork is focused primarily on the array of colors and forms throughout the piece, the landscape is flattened by this style. The artist depicts a meadow beneath the tree, ranging from shades of light to dark green. A small glimpse of turquoise and azure is added to the canvas to show depth within the grass. However, even with the array of colors used in the meadow, the style of the work remains flat. The artist adds small dabs of yellow mixed with salad green to show small flowers covering the plain. Gustav Klimt's landscape painting holds a similar feel to his other work Blooming Field, Apple Tree I, and farm Garden With Crucifix. While these paintings reveal a different cooler color scheme, the classic dabbing sponge technique remains evident throughout all pieces. The artist lived in Vienna, Austria throughout his career yet spend his summers in the countryside seized by nature. The new environment inspired the artist to take up landscape drawings through a mosaic style rather than the popular realist technique at the time.
Klimt's soft brush technique creates oval leaves, grass, and fruit within the painting, showcasing his impressionist style. While the piece holds a modernist feel upon looking at the painting, the viewer is able to witness a more classic style to Klimt's landscape paintings. The small brush strokes are all strategically placed throughout the work, angling in different directions. The brush strokes add a decorative style to the work; showing the artist's classic mosaic style in the landscape piece. The dabs of color throughout the canvas add an abstract feel that is visually stimulating and alive.
