Hope II - Gustav Klimt
Entitled "Vision" during Gustav Klimt's lifetime, the work was renamed "Hope II" by association with an earlier painting. Here, a pale, bare-breasted pregnant woman, dressed in a shimmering pattern of polychrome and gold circles, bows her head meditatively. The dress is done in a style that he used in most of the paintings done during his "golden period". Symbols of love, birth and death coexist in a delicate balance. We observe her expanding abdomen, but there is imminent danger: at the foot of the painting, three women bend their heads forward, as if in prayer. The colours remind us of his work The Kiss.
