1896
Created as an allegory for the month of June, this poster offers a fascinating glimpse into Gustav Klimt's early style before he became the king of gold leaf. A striking, shadowed profile of a woman dominates the center, her dark hair decorated with a whimsical golden vine that looks like it's sprouting directly from her imagination. Flanking this intimate portrait are two tall, ethereal women in flowing classical gowns, reaching toward a plant at the top as if they are guardians of the summer season. It's a beautiful mix of rigid architectural lines and organic beauty, showing off Klimt's obsession with decorative borders and mysterious female figures.
