Klimt paintings were considered far ahead of their time, much of which was seen as controversial. They were highly criticized due to their erotic and exotic nature. They used symbolism of the not so subtle form, going far beyond what the imagination of the period accepted.
Although radical Klimt paintings were not widely accepted then, some of the pieces are seen to be the most important and most influential pieces to come out of Austria today. Among the early works of Gustav was the Allegories collection, which was seen as a creative and timeless piece.
The Beethoven Frieze was the most renowned of 1902 Klimt paintings. Painted directly on the walls using light materials, it featured a monumental, polychromed sculpture by Max Klinger. A resemblance to Gustav Mahler was evident in the face on the Beethoven portrait. Mahler was a composer with whom Klimt shared a respectful relationship.
The first Grandma Moses paintings were made using house paint. They are classified as folk art, which is self-taught art. It is also often times referred to as primitive art. Grandma Moses was in her 70s when she began painting seriously. Her addition of glitter on her snow scenes where not considered artistic by many.
The first of Grandma Moses paintings was known as the Fireboard. Her early work was usually based on scenes found in illustrated books and Currier and Ives prints, showing American lives, historical events and celebrities during the 1800s.
Familiar farm life scenes are also often times depicted in Grandma Moses paintings. Stories about apple butter making, soap and maple syrup making, corn husking and candle making can be extracted from them. Her art was something Grandma Moses enjoyed doing which surprising to her, also provided her with some extra money. She insisted on being the same person she was before despite her fame, regardless of the fuss people were making over her.
