About the Book

English summary: Gustav Klimt's monumental Beethoven Frieze is now recognized as the highlight of his career and is seen as an icon of Viennese Art Nouveau. Klimt designed the 35 meter long frieze in 1902 for the Beethoven art exhibition of the Viennese Secession under the theme of longing for happiness. He transformed Beethoven's 9th Symphony into a powerful visual image: gold leaf, semi-precious stones and mother-of pearl, as well as (for the time) unusual prosaic applications of curtain rings, upholstery nails and broken pieces of glass. Floating linear female characters as the embodiment of aspirations lead the viewer along the wall sequence of the Beethoven frieze. In a fascinating tangle of fables, figures and forms, Klimt tells of humanity's suffering and the triumph of the arts and love. Klimt ends his frieze in a presentation of "Kiss for The Whole World" as an expression of Schiller's "Ode To Joy." This catalog offers a detailed view of the frieze and refers to its graphic templates. In this particularly sensitive presentation of acts, which allow direct access to his work, Klimt pays homage to the woman as lascivious seductress, femme fatale, and carrier of life. The eroticism and elegance that characterize the Fin de Siècle are unique to these representations. German text. German description: Gustav Klimts monumentaler Beethoven-Fries wird heute als Höhepunkt seines Schaffens und Ikone des Wiener Jugendstils gewuerdigt. Klimt entwirft 1902 seinen 35 m langen Fries fuer die als Gesamtkunstwerk konzipierte Beethoven-Ausstellung der Wiener Secession. Begleitend zu diesem Werk zeigt das Katalog-Buch eine Vielzahl an Zeichnungen aus seinem uvre. Unter dem Thema Sehnsucht nach Glueck entwirft Gustav Klimt den beruehmten Beethoven-Fries. Er setzt in diesem Beethovens 9. Symphonie in eine gewaltige Bildsprache um: Blattgold, Halbedelsteine und Perlmutter schmuecken die 2,50 m hohe Bilderfolge genauso wie damals ungewohnte prosaische Applikationen aus Gardinenringen, Polsternägeln und Spiegelscherben. Schwebende lineare Frauenfiguren als Verkörperung der Sehnsuechte fuehren den Betrachter als Genien durch die lange Wandabfolge des Beethoven-Frieses. In einem faszinierenden Geflecht aus Fabeln, Figuren und Formen erzählt er in dem gewaltigen Zyklus vom Leiden der Menschheit und vom Sieg der Kuenste und der Liebe. Klimt beendet seinen Fries in der Darstellung "Diesen Kuss der ganzen Welt" als Ausdruck Schillers "Ode an die Freude". Das Katalog-Buch erlaubt die Detailsicht auf den Fries und verweist auf die zeichnerischen Vorlagen. In diesen besonders sensiblen Aktdarstellungen, die den unmittelbaren Zugang zu seinem Werk erlauben, huldigt er der Frau als laszive Verfuehrerin, Femme fatale, Schwangere oder Unnahbare. Die Erotik und Eleganz, die das Fin de Siècle prägen, sind diesen Darstellungen eigen.
