The painting of Vienna art gallery

#100waysoftravel Major institutions such as Kunsthalle Wien, in addition to 21er Haus, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, and smaller galleries like Galerie Krinzinger provide support, inspiration, and exhibition space for Austrian and international contemporary artists in Vienna. 🇦🇹 The exceptional Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) is closely associated in many aspects with the Belvedere Museum in Vienna, which houses the most significant collection of Austrian art. The Belvedere collection includes 24 Klimt paintings. Klimt was born in Baumgarten near Vienna, he studied at the art school there, and received official commissions in Vienna until 1897. He was the first President of the Vienna Secession, a modernist movement characterised by decorative line and respect for the two dimensionality of the painted surface. #austria #vienna
