"Untitled- (Woman Distorted)" by Gustav Klimt is a famous portrait of his wife. In mid-1903 Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer commissioned Klimt to paint a portrait of his wife, he wished to give the piece to Adele's parents as an anniversary present that October. Klimt drew over a hundred preparatory sketches for the portrait between 1903 and 1904 The Bloch-Bauer's purchased some of the sketches he had made of Adele when they obtained 16 Klimt drawings. Klimt undertook more extensive preparations for the portrait than any other piece he worked on. Much of the portrait was undertaken by an elaborate technique of using gold and silver leaf and then adding decorative motifs in bas-relief using gesso, a paint mixture consisting of a binder mixed with chalk or gypsum. |
