When the World Gets You Down...


Today has been a very long day....just to give you an idea..I woke up 5:45 am to finish studying for an Italian test at 9:00 am...all the coffee in the world did not seem to give me back my edge for the day. However, this Klimt put a little pep in my step. So, when the world gets you down...look at some Klimt! Simple refreshments such as these make all the difference in the world.

Gustav Klimt, a well known Art Nouveau artist, created many works through abstracting the human body and combining its' beauty with patterns and earthly elements. He lived from 1862 and passed away in 1912, leaving behind many, many wonders. This painting is known as Hygeia from 1898. Check out this website...it shows close-ups of his works! They are really amazing..
