Angela at Sew Loquacious

Gustav Klimt!  I'm sure you recognize The Kiss.  Klimt completed this "fascinating icon of the loss of self lovers experience" in 1908.   I immediately thought of The Kiss and how perfect Klimt is for February...the month for love!  Sexuality, regeneration, love and death are major themes in Klimt's artwork.   He founded the school of painting called the Vienna Sezession, which, according to the Paris Web Museum, "embodied the highly keyed erotic, psychological, and aesthetic preoccupations of turn of the century Vienna's dazzling intellectual world."  The Sezession is also known as the Viennese version of Art Nouveau

I chose this as my inspiration

I love all the shapes he uses to do his drawings..

which I thought lent itself to

Zentangles

As in mine below

He also is know for nudity....

I didn't want to do any of that,

 But my rendition of this is the the circles on the bust

I know it looks nothing like it..

But I cannot mimic his art

It is to wonderful

So I made my own

With shapes and sizes as he does
