KLIMT POETRY CENTER SPEAKER

With these few words elegantly crafted and prominently presented above the entry of the famous Secession located within Vienna´s city center, the beginning of Jugendstil was begun. The Jugendstil was no dogmatic federation espousing artistic rights and wrongs;

rather, this was a group of forward thinkers exploring new departures and destinations in creation. At their foundation was the urging of every persuasion including architecture, painting and music, all combining together for the sake of progression. As the art movement´s most significant contributor and father, Gustav Klimt has been

forever immortalized into the art fabric that is Vienna.
