Occult Art: Klimt - The Kiss, Kubrick & Occult Vienna

The subject of this presentation is Gustav Klimt, an Austrian symbolist painter and a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement. His work helped define the Art Nouveau style in Europe. Klimt is known for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art during the turn of the 20th century. This showcase gives insight and historical context to Vienna's dark, seedy underbelly and its high societal connections, with which Klimt and his contemporaries had intimate ties. Exploring his most famous and beloved work, "The Kiss", we show how this national icon of romance may be telling a more sinister tale, unknown to the general public.
