Parastone Klimt - Pocket Mirror - Three Ages of Women

Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter who became one of the founding members and president of the Vienna Secession. These artists were concerned with exploring the possibilities of art outside the confines of academic tradition. They hoped to create a new style that owed nothing to historical influence. After traveling to Venice and Ravenna, Klimt was influenced by their beautiful mosaics which most likely inspired his “Golden Period”. He continued to use his innovative style and painted many oil paintings. A detail of a woman and her child from the painting "Three Ages of Women" is depicted on this pocket mirror. Klimt is playing with the reality of our origin and future. He's used his ornamental symbolist style to contrast every season of life through color and pattern. Size: 2.75 in x 2.75 in x .25 in
