VIRTUAL LECTURE: Tues, Feb 2: 9:30 am (CT): The Interaction of Influence in the Works of Gustav Klimt
As an introduction to the workshop “Sublime Geometry”, the lecture explores the work of Gustav Klimt, the influences and the narrative which surrounded the artist both in his studio and in the wider context of the period in which he lived.
Taking influence as a theme, and the complexities of interaction, influence and the slightly more controversial cultural appropriation, we explore the wider concept of how inspiration from the past can be used as a tool to generate contemporary work in an honest and original way.
