ISBN: 9781931794169.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew paintings have captured the publics imagination as thoroughly as Gustav Klimts 1907 portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the wife of a prominent Viennese sugar manufacturer. The suggestive, gold-leafed painting not only rendered Bloch-Bauers irresistible beauty and sensuality; its intricate ornamentation and exotic motifs heralded the dawn of Modernity and a culture intent on radically forging a new identity. With this painting, Klimt created a secular icon that would come to stand for the aspirations of a whole generation in fin-de-siècle Vienna.\nBut as synonymous as this famous models likeness has become with Viennas Golden Age, the real Adele Bloch-Bauer remained somewhat shielded from the public eye. Filled with well-chosen details, documentary photographs and historically related artworks, this singular, scholarly study attempts to reveal and honor the remarkable life and legacy of Adele Bloch-Bauer and her husband, Ferdinand Bloch, and their patronage of one of Austrias most radical forebears of Modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Neue Galerie New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44950115778613,"sku":"ByrdShop_1931794162","price":85.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781931794169_ac7da9d5-dfa6-400d-bea1-1308286acced.jpg?v=1781368754","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/portrait-of-adele-blochbauer-9781931794169","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
