Death and Life
Death and Life (German: Tod und Leben, Italian: Morte e Vita) is an oil-on-canvas painting by Austrian painter Gustav Klimt.[2][3] In 1911 Death and Life received first prize in the world exhibitions in Rome.Further exhibitions of the painting took place e.g. 1913 in Budapest and Mannheim, 1914 in Prague, 1916 in Berlin, 1917 in Stockholm, 1917 / 1918 in Copenhagen, 1918 in Zurich and from 1923 several times in Vienna, 1958 in Venice and 1965 in New York and London.[6][7] The imagination of the artist is focused no longer on physical union, but rather on the expectation that precedes it.Perhaps this new found serenity is rooted in Klimt's own awareness of aging and closeness to death.
