GUSTAV KLIMT. Mäda Primavesi (1903-2000)

Mäda Primavesi (1903-2000). Artist: Gustav Klimt (Austrian, Baumgarten 1862-1918 Vienna). Dimensions: 59 x 43 1/2 in. (149.9 x 110.5 cm). Date: 1912-13.
Mäda Primavesi's expression and posture convey a remarkable degree of confidence for a nine-year-old girl, even one who was, by her own account, willful and a tomboy. Klimt made numerous preliminary sketches for this portrait, experimenting with different poses, outfits, and backgrounds before deciding to show Mäda standing tall in a specially-made dress amid a profusion of springlike patterns. The picture testifies to the sophisticated taste of her parents, banker and industrialist Otto Primavesi and his wife Eugenia, who were ardent supporters of progressive Viennese art and design. In fact, Klimt soon painted Eugenia's portrait (Toyota Municipal Museum of Art, Japan).
