klimt+Movies: Dying young (1991)

Dying Young is a 1991 film, directed by Joel Schumacher. It is based on a novel of the same name by Marti Leimbach, and stars Julia Roberts and Campbell Scott

""Dying Young" oversteps its bounds a bit when it emphasizes Victor's intellectual superiority to the point of allowing him to tutor Hilary in art history as a way of repaying her kindness, and underscores the fact that he has a doctoral thesis in the works. Still, Mr. Schumacher's use of rapturous portraits by Klimt and Rossetti is bluntly effective in underscoring the inspirational power of a beautiful artist's model. In this film he, too, has his muse"

Klimt+art: Schiele


Egon Schiele (1890–1918) was an Austrian painter, a protégé of Gustav Klimt, and a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. Schiele's body of work is noted for the intensity and the large number of self-portraits he produced. The twisted body shapes that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings make the artist a notable exponent of Expressionism.

Klimt+biography: wiki


Gustav Klimt 
(July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) 
was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism--nowhere is this more apparent than in his numerous drawings in pencil.   wiki®
