Simply Klimt - Mäda Gertrude Primavesi

            As you've no doubt figured out by now, I have no issues photographing inspirational art work. From van Gogh to - well - everyone else - gorgeous art work that catches my attention - certainly catches my attention.

The Metropolitan Museum, which sits on Fifth Avenue and backs into Central Park, is a very close second to the greatest art museum I've ever seen (that being the Louvre). It is gigantic and gorgeous and you can't hope to see it in one day. We dedicated about six hours on a Friday afternoon/evening and saw maybe 25% of the place - so we were picky. 

And as a lover of 19th century Impressionists - this meant I wandered eventually to the south end of the third floor at the Met for a couple of those hours. And after delighting in the Impressionists - I found another artist I truly enjoy - Gustav Klimt. Although not in the Impressionist school, his portrait of nine-year old Mäda Gertrude Primavesi, made in Vienna in 1912-13, is wonderful beyond belief in its color palate and whimsy. Klimt's portraits are a near second to me to van Gogh's everything - so if we're making a list - now you know.

Plenty more to come from the Met and the Guggenheim in the days ahead.
