TREE OF LIFE

The art critic Ludwig Hevesi wrote about Klimt's works: Ornament to Klimt is a metaphor of matter itself in a state of perpetual mutation, ceaselessly evolving, turning, spiralling, undulating, twisting, a violent whirlwind that assumes all shapes, zigzags of lightning and flickering tongues of serpents, tangles of vines, links of chains, flowing veils, fragile threads. In the spiralling branches of the Tree of Life are reasonably life like birds and butterflies. This tree design is interesting in that it is the only surviving example of a landscape in which Klimt used gold.
